My Project

Our project, "Eco Explores: Learning to Love the Earth" is designed to inspire young learners to explore and take care of the world around them through hands-on eco-friendly experiences. With your support, we will provide students with engaging tools like eco- animal puzzles that teach about biodiversity, beautifully illustrated eco-themed books that spark environmental awareness, and interactive weather maps to help them observe and understand climate patterns. We'll also incorporate recycling materials into daily learning, encouraging students to think creatively and sustainably.

This project nurtures curiosity, responsibility, and a love for nature- planting the seed of environmental stewardship in the hearts of our future leaders.

Students will be able to create an "Eco- Corner" in the classroom with reusable materials, books about nature, and real-life task like sorting waste and caring for plants.
