Introduction

• That the garbage and waste near the

village creates many problem to the

villagers.

We ‘Felt’:

•The stinking smell is causing problems

for the passers by while

crossing this place.

We felt that doing something about this

place would be a sigh of relief for the

school goers and passers by.

• That we will be a helping hand in making our village disease free.

• That if we could aware community regarding this problem , the level of health and hygiene in community will go up, and we, the students will also be benefited.

We ‘Imagined’:

• That cleanliness of this place would bring

a little comfort for all the people and our

action would also sensitize the community

towards the cleanliness of this village.

• We started a

cleanliness drive in

the form of a

procession through

the village.

• We went to the site

and start cleaning

the area. Through

the rally we

conveyed the

message how to

manage the solid

waste.

We ‘Did’:

We prepared placards with relevant slogans.

We went door to door and met every person and made them understand about the solid waste management.

We ‘Did’:

.• We also met ladies of the village and

requested them not to through the garbage

here and there .

• Sensitized by the efforts of the students,the

village people came forward and joined

hands with us in the cleanliness drive.

• They realized that cleanliness of their village

is their responsibility.

Impact on Community:

• Some of the volunteers also

instructed the womenfolk not to

dirty the place by scattering waste.

• We felt very happy that despite of our age, we could contribute in the welfare of our village.

• Community appreciated us very much for this activity.

Impact on Us:

• We enjoyed the activity very much . we covered the whole village and showed great enthusiasm while talking to community and making them aware about solid waste management.

Experience of Community Members & Teachers:

• “The SBS students have done a commendable job, which has opened the eyes of the villagers and due to their efforts, the villagers are now motivated and aware towards their effort.”

Sarpanch of the village.

•Community shared that no one ever cared about this problem . Even govt. officials never bothered to visit our village and take care of this problem. We are thankful to you that you took the initiative.

• We plan time to time monitoring of the cleanliness status of the village where we had done the drive.

• We also plan to put up a request board at the site.• We will mark more of such places in the village where we could

contribute .

The Road Ahead…..(in the next 3 months)
