WALKSIDE BY ROVS PROJECT SCOUTS OF THE WORLD AWARD VOLUNTARY SERVICE

Because of global warming, pollution, diminishing forests, and a limited supply of natural

resources, people are becoming more aware of the importance of protecting the environment. The

3R‟s in solid waste management generally refers to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Waste in the

environment affects the air, water, land, animals, plants, and humans. When we use the

environment as a waste dump, we take away land from wildlife, pollute the environment, and

deplete natural resources. One-way people are doing their part to protect the environment is

adopting the Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Waste Programme.

WALKSIDE BY

ROVS PROJECT SCOUTS OF THE WORLD AWARD VOLUNTARY

SERVICE

1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The team consists of Rover Scouts from various rover crews

throughout Malaysia. Based on our diverse backgrounds, we believe

the project initiated by our effort will give a long-term impact on our

targeted community. The project namely as „WalkSide by Rovs

Project‟ is a voluntary service project to improve several

environmental conditions that have been polluted by human nature.

In conjunction with Rovers Centenary 100 Years, we are trying to

provide our service and contribute to a cleaner environment through

supporting the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle as well as Love Earth

Plastic Bottle Cap project.

2.0 PROJECT MECHANISM

The system that combines the bottle caps collected and affixed in

concrete to be used as a pedestrian path for consumer convenience

and ensures that the concrete is solid for a long time.

3.0 OBJECTIVES

Minimization of waste generation and promotion of the 3R

(reduce, re-use and recycle) concept

To improve the quality of life, starting from native citizens.

Raise community awareness and standards of health through

health education and promotion.

4.0 THE PROJECT SITE

JALAN MESRA, DATUK KERAMAT OFF JALAN AMPANG, KUALA LUMPUR

(Behind Embassy of Somalia & Embassy of Cuba)

FIGURE 1 : BEFORE FIGURE 2 : AFTER

The selection of this project site is based on the frequency of residents using idle routes and can be

dangerous to the locals. We received complaints from the public about the pedestrian paths used by

schoolchildren from SMK Seri Ampang and SMK Puteri Ampang to cross the Gombak River to LRT

Datuk Keramat. The route is the only walkway to cross the Gombak River from Ampang or Datuk

Keramat. So we feel the selection of this location is very appropriate for us to implement community

development projects.

To get permission to create this route project. We seek cooperation from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall

namely Director of Infrastructure Department Encik Sulaiman bin Mohamad and also the

authorization from the Kuala Lumpur Land and Mine Office.

To complete this route, we have been working with an engineer specializing in construction, Ms. Noor

Hidayah Che Ismail and she helped us from the beginning until the completion of this project.
