Sustainability one of the positive challenges that we face today. To achieve this practically there needs to be changes done in our own lifestyle. The thought “What we want” should be replaced by “what we need?”.
In fact, often times we find todays’ children are either living in the world of Surplus or in the state of deprived.
We at Vailankanni school took up one of the vital issues thriving in the world, Wastage of Food as our concern area and focussed on it.
Just as the saying goes charity begins at home, every action or measure that we aim for the future must have their seeds sown in the schools where students learn, a place where they spend most of their time in schooling years.
With the support from NGO “No Food Wasted”, our children had a meaningful and purposeful orientation programme conducted by them. Our students were exposed to daily problems of people who go to sleep without even one Meal a day. Our students were emotionally and logically involved in to finding out the cause for this and measures to address this mammoth issue existing in the society.
They were exposed to noble thoughts like don’t buy food more than required and also to share the extra food to the needy people than wasting it in garbage.
Over a week our children underwent food audit for themselves personally where they had to practise not to waste the food, they get for their lunch time.
This Friday Oct 24th our students took this noble thought of Don’t waste the food to the streets of T.Nagar as they rallied down the street of Venkatnarayana Road and Kannadasan Salai during the peak hours of the day.
Being young and as they were convinced with the idea that food wasted today could turn out to be food shortage tomorrow, they were ready to convince the people out in the public to buy in this idea
“Thani oruvannukku unavu ila enil jagathinai azhithiduvom” exclaimed our poet Mahakavi Bharathi.
At our institution we have sown the thought in the young minds as to how they can build a better life for themselves through sustainability and also make other person’s life better by thinking positively.
