Staff of the Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development committed to playing their part in ensuring a greener Seychelles for future generations and mitigating some of the effects caused by global warming. On Saturday 7th September 2013, the Social Committee planted some 20 palm trees in the grounds of the temporary Glacis School crèche. This activity is in line with the Life Campaign, an initiative from the Ministry of Environment and Energy. Apart from assisting the Ministry of Environment and Energy to achieve its target of planting 20,000 trees and helping the environment, the activity also aimed to promote team work amongst its staff members. This is the second community work activity undertaken by the Ministry’s staff this year. On 6th July 2013 staff volunteered to clean and paint the Old People’s Residence at Au Cap. This activity was done with the aim of giving back to the community, especially those who have contributed a lot towards the development of our country. The Social Committee has plans to organize a lot more of such activities.
