His engaging approach created a safe space for questions, ideas, and inspiration—tailored perfectly to the minds of emerging youth leaders.
A special highlight of this event was the participation of Mohammad Abu Taleb, Assistant Deputy Commissioner (ADC) of Bandarban, who graced the program as chief guest. His encouraging remarks emphasized the role of the administration in supporting youth-led sustainability efforts. In recognition of his support, a token of appreciation was presented to him on behalf of the community.

Interactive games, a quiz competition, and open discussions added layers of fun and participation, making environmental education both practical and memorable for the young attendees.
Md Fahim Hossain, Chairperson of Green Lead Society, closed the event with a heartfelt vote of thanks, appreciating all collaborators, guests, volunteers, and of course, the enthusiastic students.
