Students from five leading schools of Mount Abu marched into J Watumull Global Hospital & Research Centre on Sunday, March 7, holding...dust-bins, if you please!
Yes, the students from St Mary's School, St Rajeshwar School, Sofia School, Adarsh Vidya Mandir and St Michael's School were taking part in an eco-friendly dust-bins making competition that required them to create dustbins out of innovative eco-friendly materials. The dustbins had to be capable of holding waste-paper. The judges had a hard time choosing the best out of the 25 innovative entries!
After the competition, the students attended a talk by Sister Sonia from Copenhagen, who shared interesting information she picked up while attending the World Business Summit on Climate Change held in the city in December 2009. Subsequently, students from Sofia School presented a dance while a group of boys from AVM School put up a skit. Then, students from the School for the Blind held the audience spellbound with a melodious song!
This event was part of a Green Drive being implemented by Global Hospital, which includes the recycling waste-paper and banning the use of all plastic bags. Hence, the management was very pleased when the principals of two leading school expressed an interest in following suit in recycling waste-paper.
