Waterways Watch Society (Singapore) is a non-profit non-government organisation in Singapore which has a public mission. Our main role is public education about the impact of litter on the waterways. Nature is one of the cornerstones of the scout method, thus my decision to contribute towards the organisation. Sustaining on volunteers and donations, WWS conducts programmes for schools, organisations, and members of the public. Often, there is a big demand for capable programme leaders. The first task for me to be able to help the organisation was to understand their mission, and consider how i could better support them. Among their programmes was a Kayak River Clean up which involves taking individuals out in kayaks, picking up the rubbish in the reservoir. It should be noted that there are public cleaners employed to do this on a regular basis. Bringing members of the public out on the water to see the actual issues has a bigger impact. WWS role is one of public education and awareness - we take participants out and show them how litter can be trapped in the plant life, how fish and other marine life can be harmed by the careless action towards rubbish disposal. After the clean up, we conduct a sharing session about participants' feelings about the experience, with the aim of creating more awareness of how their individual actions can make a difference. The most common feedback from participants has been disgust - litter, being in the water for sometime, tends to create a certain smell. Coupled with the awareness that the water in the reservoir is then treated and turned into drinking water that flows through the pipes in Singapore is often sufficient to encourage the participants to want to make a difference. Another strong motivator to make change would be if anyone managed to save any trapped marine life (see photo). To date, i have assisted with 18 kayaking events (approximately 290 participants) and led eight public kayaking events (150 participants). Encouraging the participants to consider how we can make a difference by taking ownership of our actions, and encouraging them to pledge to make a change is one step towards meeting the goal of public education. i hope the participants do bring the lessons home and keep their pledge. I have also brought a group of scouts out regularly (monthly basis) as part of regular patrol, since January 2016. These scouts also help me with the public events when they are able. One encouraging sign i observed is that several participants from the events have returned to WWS and assist on our weekend patrols, either on a fortnightly or monthly basis.
