Tapping on the word-of-mouth strategy, personal account from visitors who have joined environmental programs play a strong role in encouraging parents in bringing their children to join the fun. Here are some of the account that I particularly like on some of the visitors who have joined the programs organized by the Nature Society (Singapore) Education Group.

Under the guidance of facilitators, children, together with parents and caregivers were having fun making origami and nature sketching! The kids were also taught of how nature sketching could be used as a tool to note the features of newly-encountered wildlife. The kids were also encouraged to note down sightings and note down information such as date, time, place and weather condition to enhance the learning process.
