"It was a privilege to meet the students and see the ongoing positive work at the school."
Those were the words from Lewis after visiting Sekolah Menegah Kebangsaan (SMK) Seri Keramat in Malaysia yesterday. The seven-time world champion made a surprise visit to the school, joining students in carrying out several STEM experiments and learning about their focus on sustainability and biodiversity.
The school is one of 39 that participated in a recent scheme run by PETRONAS focused on delivering a responsible waste management programme. SMK Seri Keramat came out as the winner. Lewis got the chance to see the school's efforts to integrate eco-friendly initiatives into the curriculum and the importance placed on sustainable efforts and practices.
