Lighthouse Sensitised To Climate Change
November 20th, 2020, is universally designated as World Children’s Day by UNICEF. To mark the occasion, students from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, organised a fun workshop for children aged seven to 15 years. The event was part of the Xavier Social Involvement Programme which enriches the lives of the disadvantaged and underprivileged through various activities.
The workshop, conducted on November 17th, 2020, created awareness of climate change and its devastating impact upon the environment. Our Lighthouse children were shown how to make dustbins from old newspapers which would enable them to segregate dry and wet garbage. The intention was that these youngsters would spread the message of eco-consciousness within their own communities, thereby creating sustainable change at the grassroot level in India.
