After over two years at VIRCS, the original MEEP staff (the MEEPle) are moving on :(
We will all be sad to see Gagan Leekha and Rosalyn Cua leave VIRCS in the next few weeks, but we know that they will do amazing things wherever they go.
Since beginning the Multicultural Environmental Education Program, Gagan and Rosalyn have linked newcomers to great environmental services and natural spaces in Victoria, and created some great awareness materials in many languages and many mediums. With multi-language radio tips, videos on waste reduction, a great newsletter, and simple multu-language eco-tips, these two have made a huge green impact on the multicultural communities of Victoria. Thank you so much Gagan and Rosalyn; we'll miss you!
Coming in to carry on this great tradition is Megan Thom. Megan has worked all over the world, and has already begun making friends and helping clients get in touch with nature here at VIRCS. Megan will focus MEEP on outings and group events this year, with some great nature hikes, visits to eco-friendly organizations, do-it-yourself workshops, and more. When you are next at VIRCS, be sure to come and give Megan a big welcome to the VIRCS family.
