We are so proud to announce that our team debuted the O2C program in Singapore at Northlight Secondary School. It was really well received by both educators and students. This is a important milestone in our aspirations to empower every individual to play their part against climate change, the protection of our reefs and marine life. As the saying goes, "You do not know what you do not know." However, the ability to experience knowledge beyond the books is often limited to th
