Dr Karim comes to MK Headquarters

A message from Dr. Sayit Abdul Karim who recently completed his International Community Service with Millennium Kids in Perth, Western Australia.

I have been involved in the Millennium Kids’ programs and gained remarkable knowledge and experience in my international community service in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Therefore, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my counterpart, the CEO of Millennium Kids Inc., Catrina Luz Aniere, and the Citizen Science Coordinator, Wayne O’Sullivan, for hosting me and facilitating my visit to Perth, WA.

The activities included, but are not limited to, a climate change celebration, field observations, visit revegetated drain projects with education opportunities in the City of Canning and Friends of Lake Claremont, community capacity building, and the humanitarian program. In addition, I had a chance to discuss and share ideas with the Millennium Kids membership, local government; the City of Canning, partners and collaborators; the University of Western Australia, and Nature Play. I also met with Prof Lyn Beazley AO, Patron of Millennium Kids.

I believe that the Millennium Kids program is beneficial for both parties, and this experience is very valuable for me and my local Dompu community’s well-being, as well as a sustainable environment. As we share the same concerns, we need to have international cooperation and to work together to find the best solutions for our future.
