Swachta Vriksharopan Abhiyan ( Cleanliness Drive) – Nithari – April 11 2015

We cleaned the Government School in Nithari on April 11, 2015

  • FLASHBACK!

On 5th April Sunday afternoon, when I visited to Nithari Village, to supervise an educational counselling, conducted by Somi (Project Head, Internal Learning and Educational Counselling, HelpingBrainz.Org), me and Vimlesh Aunty walked through the silent verandahs of the lonely government school of Nithari,  feeling the naturalism where the underpriviledged children undergo their elementary education, feeling disappointed after seeing the stagnant drainage systems and mosquito generating ponds, uncleansed classrooms/assembly ground/gardens, which the so called government ‘servants’ are not interested to clean upon.

I felt the helplessness of a child to express his right for sanitation, cleanliness and hygiene in the silent school. ‘How can a child study in such an environment’? I witnessed a lady village head’s urge for clean environment, however also understood the lack of cooperation of the government officials.

When I heard Vimlesh Aunty, requesting someone to clean the school, I stopped her and said ‘HelpingBrainz will clean this school for you’, I mentioned to her that, ‘it’s my wish to have my little siblings learn in a clean environment, though their teachers to be honest don’t want’.

  • THE GAMES HERE!

I immediately telephoned, my friend Swati (VP, Environmental & Elderly Care Projects – HelpingBrainz.Org) – to design the programme, Abhinav Vikash (Abhinav works for HCLT Foundations, he’s one whose heart beats for the community equally) and Purnoor (Our designing spearhead) and we fixed the event (Cleanliness Drive) in 10 mins, and gave heartwarming confirmation to the village-head to support her in this mission to clean the school.
