       The instant I came to this place, the sooner I felt heir love and gratitude to me by the people here. Due to geographical distances and lack of infrastructure, the people of this village are not familier with modern physical life, but this has not been able to touch their own happiness and their own lives. Today 15th Feb, I had the privilege of organizing a village cleaniness program here. Dang district in western Nepal , we did the cleaning with the active participation people of the Kalyanpur village. As a Youth for Our Planet, mobiliser from Nepal andTunza eco generation 23rd ambassador I have organized and local youth club helped me to make people gather , we cleaned about 1.5 km area with the participation of about 30 people. Around 3 sac trash was collected and that will be disposed by municipality.Most trashes was plastics and tiny covers of tobacoo, cigarette and small food items. Though I will be in this place for just 3 more days, but we had a meeting and aggrement among the village people that they will be cleaning their village area on every first saturday of Nepali calendar month. So, they registered participant name that were present today. Also, we talked about separation of trash so that they can make compost manure for fertility of land. We shared our thought about how to reduce pollution of tiny plastic materials. But I couldn't convince them not to burn plastics, they didn't agree with my view. I hope one day they will learn and apply in practice about plastic burning. Interesting fact is they were very shy for the photo ;) but they are very helpful and adoptive for new positive things. |
