Power utility CEM organised a camp for pupils to experience life without electricity over the weekend, with the aim of showing them the importance of saving energy.
The two-day camp was held at CEM’s power plant in Coloane, with 45 secondary school pupils, selected from some 200 pupils from different schools, participating, according to a CEM statement yesterday.
During the event, the first of its kind held by the company, the pupils visited the power station, played challenge games, put up tents and cooked over campfires. The participants had to spend the weekend without any electricity, according to the statement.
This handout photo provided by CEM yesterday shows pupils putting up tents on Saturday outside the utility’s power station in Coloane for their two-day electricity-free camp.
