TUNZA,AN INSPIRATION TO ME
It used to be the day when I kept searching the right platform to work and meet the common minded friends.and fortunately I found tunza J.. while surfing on net I came to click on the tunza?s profile and found a report written by our ambassador and my deariest friend as well miss.bindu bhandari explaining how she introduced tunza among the youths on a school programme.i felt like ?WOW?.then I followed her suggestions and made a account on tunza.but still by then I knew nothing about using it.whatever I started reading all the old post and n,the other post.reading all those I felt like doing something..i came to believe no matter how small our efforts are they would definitely add to make a leap.then I decided to take a step.
I couldn?t keep my patience for a long time.i was at my cousin?s house,a new place for me.despite,I decided to make a move so went to visit the area with one friend .at the distance of 2 hours from my cousin?s house I found a government school and talked with the principle to have a day ?environment awareness? class.he agreed and fixed the date 3 days after.although I convinced to take a class but the question was HOW????it was my first effort but couldn?t figure out how to make it effectual..i once again surfed net and collected the effective animated videos,cartoons,picture etc about environment.i further jotted down about environment on a chart paper.then the day came up.i wake up preety excited and with friend headed towards the school but forgot the way..nearly disappointed,we changed the direction five times and finally we found the right track.it was raining.we forgot to take umbrella with us.however we went at the school.teachers comforted us with warm welcome.
We started the class.at first we gave our introduction and then explained them about the environmental facts, discussed about the mistakes we were making till date and its consequences and also the preventive measures to be applied.we showed them the animated videos,cartoons and the pictures.explained them about pollution,taught them how to recycle the wastes from their house and school and so on. all students were excited and startled by those videos.and at last,they also made a commitment to establish a club and work to conserve the environment..they thanked me and at the while,I thanked tunza from my heart as my first step went better than expected.i did not explained them about tunza (sorry) because I was myself not well known about it,.next time I would sure. J
After 2 months,I got a phone call from a guy.i got surprised mixed with happiness to know that guy was from the same school.he had called me to explain about their efforts.they had started to conduct cleanliness programme every Friday on school.likewise they had started to use the kitchen wastes as manure.and the kitchwn water in kitchen garden.they had stopped to great extent eating junk foods.rather they prepare tiffin in their own home.he further invited me to take similar class with more innovative ideas.i was planning to provide some more innovative ideas in the topics after their invitation but,unfortunately,the devastating earthquake wrecked all my plans putting lives of all thousands of Nepalese in roller coaster. L I have not been in contact with that boy since that day.i hope he is fine.
Sorry for late posting because when I conducted the programme, I knew nothing even to log ni.And now when I m familiar with tunza ,I felt like posting my first initation.i have no words to explain how grateful I m towards tunza and all the young friends here who keep posting different ideas and activities that inspires me.AND again thanks to bindu bhandari(personally also hehe) without whose report I wouldn?t be able to rocket my enthusiasm toward conserving our mother earth.

Amazing, honest & effective effort, Sandhya. You have done real service to the Mother Nature.
I also hope & pray that the boy is fine.
Please do visit the school again & share the Tunza Eco-Gen experience. They will be motivated for greater efforts.
Proud of Bindu who has groomed you into a responsible person.
