DESIGN FOR CHANGE AT RSK

A foreign English teacher came to our school and told us about the Design for Change competition. We were excited to be a part of the competition and also to help bring a change in our society.

FEEL….

In our society, we have many problems. We feel very bad because these problems cause so many people suffering.

Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens, so we feel it is important for students to bring awareness and change to society.

There are many problems in our village, but we think the garbage is the major problem. The waste spreads disease and is harmful to living beings. So we want to help decrease the garbage.

IMAGINE….

We thought of many ways that people can reduce the garbage such as… Recycling Compost Reducing use of plastic Disposing of garbage in dustbins

But we think one solution is most important for people to know about…

DO…COMPOST!

We designed a letter about how to make compost and a chart that showed what you can compost and what you cannot compost.

On September 10th, we led a rally to educate the village about waste and pollution and we visited homes to educate people about how we can prepare the compost in our homes.

We made a plan to start composting in our school and once the compost is ready, will make a school garden.

We taught the nursery students to throw their leftover rice in the compost bin

IMPACT

We visited 47 homes to talk to families about compost.

Our rally covered 2 km and our message was heard by hundreds of people in our village.

Over 100 students participated in our rally and many younger students learned new things about compost and the environment

SHARE…

We feel it is a very good experience to go to the homes and talk with our neighbours about how to make a change

In our own homes we discuss with our parents and friends and ask them to use the compost process to reduce the garbage

SUCCESS!

Our hard led to success. We feel good for helping our community. With this opportunity we got a chance to

save our society.
