Volunteers of the day – Sonakshi Mittal, Satyapal Yadav, Vikas Babu and Satender Rana (Dev) started the class with the regular check of the hygiene and personal grooming of the slum children. The class started with the chorus ‘Hum honge kaamyaab ek din’ which was effectively conducted by Ms. Sonakshi Mittal of PGDM.
This was followed by a presentation and brief on World Environment Day. The volunteers started right from the basics. They asked the children ‘What Environment is, what Earth is, what pollution is’ and then through the marker and the board it was elaborated how the Earth was formed and how it got polluted over the years. The consequences of ignoring the environment were explained to slum children with examples.
The brief was followed by a drawing competition in which the children were asked to draw and paint the pictures of the degrading environment. The children were given colourful drawing sheets, crayons coloursets, pencils, sharpeners and the erasers. The good efforts were appreciated with pencil kits given as prizes. At the end of the competition, suggestions for protecting the environment were shared with the children. They were advised to develop right habits for conserving the environment.
The activity ended with the distribution of Tiger cream biscuits and chocolates among all the children. Dr. Gopal Krishna Dwivedi accompanied the volunteers as the faculty coordinator of Parivartan Club.
