The Year 2A5 class at Victoria Shanghai Academy put on an assembly related to palm sugar and the Masarang Foundation. Through their unit on making healthy choices, the children researched different types of sweeteners and looked at the benefits of foods that were organic and preservative free. This took their inquiry into palm sugar, how it is made and how it supports communities in Indonesia. At the end of the assembly, the children announced that there would be calendars and palm sugar sold the following week.
Calendars and palm sugar were sold at recess time by members of the Masarang After School Club. The response from the children and staff was overwhelming.
