The Desired HOME

The waste lying around the school and neighboring areas, and the overflowing waste really bothered me. I really wanted to do something about it ,but my effort alone wasn't enough. So, I couldn't find best helpers than the scouts , to help everyone of us stay litter free.
The target areas were the areas with overflowing waste including some part of school areas , the Primary Health Center next to the school ,the Gewog Center near the school, the near-by temple and the paths diverging from the school gate. The scouts were divided into 7 troop led by an adult leader. The troops were deployed in the mentioned area, to clean and also to provide awareness on waste management to the people residing in the area.
The students at school, the people residing near the PHC, the residents of Gewog Center, the shopkeepers near-by and the owner of the temple were beneficiaries of this cleaning campaign. Some even joined the campaign. The wastes which were lying on the ground, being rummaged by the strays, were all removed at once.
The importance of teaching others how and what to do ,rather than simply doing everything to others.
