When I came to India, I saw that there is a dearth of volunteering among college students and I wanted to change that. It was then I came up with the idea of "Sfe. Chapters". Sfe. Chapters are mini Sfe.'s at college and school level doing same things an Sfe. does and is actually an official branch of Sfe.

The leadership and management, etc are at school/college level. Increasing the exposure and opportunities for students.

Also, along with that already existing organizations at schools/colleges can affliate with Sfe. for getting promotion and encouragement for their works and also for getting selected for the Sfe. Awards, etc. 

Well, I needed to get the idea out clearly. It was then I thought about making a video. I discussed with my friends and many of them were ready to contribute. 

We started off first by making a script then we started thinking of a screenplay, sent off dialogues to each person, ask them to shoot it on mobile cameras and then we edited them finally to make #BeTheChange Video. 

See the video above, or visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFJVTsIOUN8

After making it, we wanted it to launch it grand. I was on a tour then and had planned Golconda fort on my itinerary. So, when I was at Golconda fort, I went Live on Facebook via my own account and via Students For The Earth account and launched the video. It became a success.

Inviting you to check out the video of our hardwork and if interested to make changes, do contact us and we can discuss.
