Mr Hamilton also presented a Climate Change book written by Prince Charles that was distributed to the students at the end.

Students of the education centre gave presentations on climate change and played an interesting sketch about importance of saving water, planting more tree, saving electricity and prevent plastic pollution.

Three best pictures were selected and the winners received their prizes from the British Embassy.The event finished with a Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” that was well performed by one of the students.
