Go green and win exciting prizes

Here is a chance to do something for mother earth and win exciting prizes in the bargain by joining the Volvo Adventure Competition, which in partnership with the United Nations Environment programme recognises and rewards practical environmental action taken by young people in their community. The global Internet-based environmental-education programme for school children aged between 10 and 16 is aimed at increasing the environmental expertise.

To register for the award, teams will have to log onto www.volvoadventure.org and register online to start their environmental project. For further information, schools can also call the Volvo Adventure Helpline 080 - 55336419 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on any working day. The last day to submit projects is January 31.

Groups could win an all expenses paid trip to attend the Volvo Adventure Conference in Sweden, present their environmental project and practical action to a jury of international experts, win a $10,000, $6,000 or $4,000 to fund their project.
