On November 11th, Aiden Mok and a group of other scouts led a conservation outing at Fertile Groundworks. Fertile GroundWorks is a non-profit organization that encourages and teaches people how to grow and harvest healthy, nutritious food. They also give fresh fruits and vegetables grown by themselves to food pantries to help feed those in need.

The goal of this project was to put a coat of paint on their rainwater pump shed. The primer was already applied so Aiden and his team had to put two more coats of paint onto the shed. Some scouts used rollers to paint on bigger areas while some scouts used paintbrushes for more finer details and places where the rollers couldn’t reach.

After around three hours of hard work, the group took a picture with the Fertile GroundWorks sign to commemorate their achievement.

Aiden’s project shows that giving back to the community can be fun and rewarding. Hopefully this can encourage others to give back as well.
