Monsoon Wooding Campaign at the School Eco Park

As we all battle with the rising humidity in the Monsoon weather, we reach out to seek the active support of our students for a Monsoon Wooding Campaign. Before we talk about why Monsoon Wooding, here is a quick snapshot of what the current situation is -

Air quality in Delhi continues to be ill unhealthy and toxic with high levels of PM2.5 . Last year, 4759 trees were felled in the National Capital region for 'development' . Living in Delhi equals to smoking over twenty cigarettes every single day just by breathing the air around us. We are breathing twelve to sixteen thousand litres of toxic air daily and doing absolutely NOTHING about it.

It is with this concern and thought that School runs a Monsoon Wooding exercise every year. We planted about 500 saplings in the form of forest and garden last year . This year, we need to do much more and can't do it without our dear and enthusiastic students.

Students of class 8 will visit the School Eco Park for a round of tree plantation. They will get an opportunity to breathe in the bracing fresh air, work with the soil and sing to the beat of a hangdrum, even as they learn about ecology and sustainability in the lap of nature!

Date : Monday 26th August 2019 Cost- Rs. 300 which will include transport and a snack. Timings: 7.30 am to 2.00 pm

Those interested may deposit the amount and a signed consent form with the class teacher by Thursday 22nd August19.

Kindly note that only 25 students will be participating in this campaign.
