The Responsibility
This week our activity is Jungle Trekking at Lucky Garden, Kampong Sungai Tilong. My responsibility for this week is The Sweeper. My jobs is to collect list of students in the three groups from Treasurer before trek, perform roll call of students before and after trek to ensure students are not left behind at trek site, ensure all students of the group walk in front of sweeper and assist the Leader.

The Transport Manager has arranged the bus for us to leave from UBD to Lucky Garden at 6.10am and we arrive at Lucky Garden at 6.35am. As we arrived, The Trek Organizer divided us into three groups. I was in group one as The Sweeper and The Leader is Asri bin Haji Mohamad (energetic and responsible), our group members is Mohd Nuh, Ayiee and Nazz.

The Trekking
We started our Jungle Trekking as a first group to trek down the trail. Oops I almost forgot, we as The Leader and The Sweeper along with Dr. Irene already recce the trek on Friday 1st October 2009 before the actual day. So we know where the route is, but it's up to our Leader to lead the way (I trust him) and my jobs is to assist him.

As this was our first jungle trekking, some of us didn't wear a proper shoes. The route was very slippery and muddy because of raining in the afternoon one day before the trekking start.

The Learning Experience
Along our way through the jungle, we are doing our community service that is collecting rubbish that has been dump by people. There are soil and water, wildlife, trees and natural beauty to see, to learn and to understand because this will give benefit to the future generations. I was very happy to see that our jungle is still preserve from their natural habitat. Its make me think how lucky is our country to have this natural jungle or forest. It is a home for a habitat such as animals, insects and plants. Do you know 70% of Brunei Darussalam is still covered with trees? This is a good news for us, our forest is still save and secure from human threat but we don't know until when, until when we can keep their natural habitat. It is important for us to conserve our forest environment and surroundings to produce oxygen for us to stay healthy and fresh and this need co-operation from all of us. BEACA student has given time to reflect upon their own personal observations, feelings, and relationships with the natural habitat by going in the jungle. Help us care for the forest, because forest can contribute to well-being of human kind in the world by its role to provide source for food, water, medication, fresh air and also give us protection against flood, land slide and other dangers, so think about it... we can save our forest, ‘The Forest, Our Future’.
