Our CHILDREN'S DAY Celebration was fun time with tasty food at Chirambe and Shedgoan along with talk on saving the environment. 'Clean Shedgaon, Green Shedgaon'. The germ of this idea took root during Environment Day celebrations. Our enthusiastic teams are working diligently towards achieving exactly that. We are taking the next step by teaching them to segregate dry and wet garbage. They were taught to cut up the plastic packagings/ wrappers into tiny pieces and stuff them into empty plastic bottles. And finally and how to create compost!!! We continue to enrich our program, Pravah
