In an effort to create a greener and healthier environment, Prof. Durairaj Govindasamy, Managing Director of Portsworld Academy in Malaysia together with University President Dr. Marilyn D. Cardoso led a tree-planting initiative at the CoEd grounds on December 3, 2022. Professor Durairaj planted a Narra tree while Dr. Cardoso had a Mabolo tree to take care of.
The event began with a brief introduction by Dr. Marilyn D. Cardoso, who highlighted the importance of planting trees and conserving the environment. Dr. Marilyn D. Cardoso also told Prof. Durairaj that he can check the tree he planted whenever he will visit again Samar State University.
A popular Chinese proverb says that “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the second best time is today”. It is not too late to plant a tree to enjoy the benefits that it will give. Indeed Professor Durairaj wants to be remembered not just as an environmentalist but also as one of the adopted sons of Samar State University.
