`Pumpkin Day'
On November 15 at 2pm, the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife
and Cultural Assets (FPWC), along with its General Partner
VivaCell-MTS, will organize the annual `Pumpkin Day' at the Yerevan
Zoo.
Children from all parts of Armenia are invited to the zoo on this
joyful day to make a special meal for their favorite animal. The zoo
will be filled with hundreds of pumpkins, fruits and vegetables so
that the little chefs can prepare the freshest and most festive dish.
The `Pumpkin Day' contest will have three prize categories which
include: The Most Innovative Meal, The Best Idea, and Animal's
Favorite Dish. The contest also comes with specific rules. For
example, the meals have to be fresh, so no pre-packaged foods are
allowed. In addition, toothpicks, paper, or plastic materials cannot
be used during the preparation of the meal.
Although only registered student groups are allowed to participate in
the contest, all children at the age of 16 and under can enter the zoo
free of charge, as well as elders who are 70 and up. Children can
closely interact with the animals, enjoy entertainment, and take part
in various activities and games, during which they will have an
opportunity to win a photo camera and a bicycle among other prizes.
`Pumpkin Day' falls within FPWC's framework of environmental
education, the purpose of which is to teach children the value of
animals and nature around them, to motivate them to learn about
environmental issues, and to encourage them to find ways to solve
these issues in the future.
