FOOTPRINTS on FOOTPRINTS on the sands!!!the sands!!!

Whenever a festival or function has been celebrated in the city it has always left us with a concern - the amount of garbage generated as far as our eyes could see, across Mumbai.

We envisage a day when the We envisage a day when the planning committee of all planning committee of all festivals especially that of festivals especially that of Ganesh Utsav would include Ganesh Utsav would include waste management as an waste management as an integral part of their planningintegral part of their planning

The members of our school nature club- CAUSECAUSE had a brainstorming session.

CAUSECAUSE stands for - - Children Aware & United to Save the Environment.

The brain storming session generated the following ideas :

Talking to people about the importance of cleanliness.

Educating the people about different ways of garbage disposal.

Making the people aware about how garbage spoils the natural beauty.

Getting everyone to realize that a beautiful surrounding is a right of children.

Also the solution too lies with us.

The members of the The members of the CAUSECAUSE club club decided to ‘walk our talk’. Take the decided to ‘walk our talk’. Take the initiative and brooms in our hands initiative and brooms in our hands and clean the beaches our selves and clean the beaches our selves rather than just keep talking about rather than just keep talking about itit..

So we set out with baskets, bins and

brooms.

Programme Implementation

The Beach Cleaning Programme Was Implemented From 18th September, 2010 To 25th September, 2010.

Here we are, 150 students from

Std . VII & X on a cleanliness drive at Aksa beach.

…….. clearing the litter, garbage, scraps & wastes.

Let us have clean and happy memories of

Ganesh Utsav!!

Just as each drop in an ocean counts, every individual’s contribution matters.

It is OUR environment, let’s make it clean and beautiful …..the way we would like it to be.

A message was conveyed and we were applauded for taking up the CAUSE of ensuring clean beachside..

The Mumbai of tomorrow is our responsibility. As future citizens of

India it is our duty to keep our environment clean and pollution

free and thus design our own change.

Principal’s Message :

Our faith in our students as agents of change redeemed each time they

undertake activities to make the world a better place. Each year once the Ganesh Visarjan is over we have been disturbed at the sight of the

leftovers on the beach. After discussions with teachers and

students they expressed their desire to go to the beachside and clean up the mess themselves. It is indeed

heartening to see that our Children are Aware and United to Save the

Environment and with their teachers as guides they truly work as agents of change. And our faith is further

strengthened ….
