It's not the big plans but the simple little steps that we take in our efforts for conservation and helping the frogs. A big thank you to Cicada Tree Eco-place, Dr Rozario and Uncle Andrew for the support and opportunities presented to us, without which this project would never have been a success.

Our efforts at environmental conservation do not stop today: we will always be ready to be there for our frog friends. Whilst time constraints might prevent us from preparing more materials for our lesson package, what we already have can serve as the foundation for further development in this area.
Loving Frogs, Saving Frogs.
Thank you to all who have made this project such a success!

Frog Project
Advocating for Frogs
To celebrate the International Year of the Frog in 2008, a group of 5 students from Raffles Institution collaborated with Cicada Tree Eco-Place to advocate for frogs. They value-added to our M.A.D. for Frogs lesson by performing a puppet show for the kids.
With the help of hand-made paper puppets, the boys told a fairy tale of an irresponsible prince who kept throwing rubbish into a pond, until a witch turned him into a frog, and having to live in that same pond, he realized how dirty it was, and begged the witch for forgiveness. The witch finally relented and the ‘frog-prince’ turned back to his normal prince-ly self. But this time, he practiced eco-actions and sustainable living, creating a pond of clean rain and stream water with lots of freshwater plants. The pond became a happy home for frogs, fish, dragon and damselflies, and other insects, and many animals came to drink from its water.
The kids loved the puppet show and were curious about the stage props.
Thanks, guys, for a super job done! We’re one step closer to the conservation of clean water habitats and our native frog species.

We'd like to take the opportunity of reaching out to those who read our blog to help support our VWO, Cicada Tree Eco-place by accessing their website at
http://www.cicadatree.org.sg/ Superficial as it might sound but a simple action of creating awareness for yourself really helps in the long run in raising awareness for the plight of the frogs. We do hope that everyone will take an active stand towards environmental conservation!
