Bhutan

Way towards beautiful side

We are dedicated to conserving the land and atmosphere so the waste lying around the school surrounding and neighboring areas, and the overflowing waste really bothered me. I just wanted to do something about it,but my effort without any friend could not do anything. So I couldn't find best helpers than the scouts, to help everyone of us stay waste 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 school, the near by temple and the path diverging from the school gate. the scouts were divided into 7 troops, each troop was 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 the school, the people residing near the PHC, the residents of the Gewog Center, the shopkeepers near by and the owner of the temple were the 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.
I had learnt the importance of teaching others how and what to do, rather than simply doing everything for others.
