On the occasion of Earth Day UKSVK organized a drawing competition for differently abled students of St. Alphonsa School and was received extremely enthusiastically by all the little kids. The objective of the celebration was to sensitise the children on Protection of our Species and how we can promote small initiatives starting from our home to save our species.
25 Children’s, 7 Teachers and 4 office staff participated in the event. UKSVK team shared that many species are now on the verge of extinction. Rapid urbanization has somehow destructed the natural habitat of many species.
To in build and realize the essentiality of protecting our species a drawing competition was organized wherein the children’s were told to draw inhabitants, water bodies, birds etc,. With their imaginations the children drew the pictures of the species which they are aware of.
The enthusiasm in all the children was contagious and everyone present, teachers and children, visibly enjoyed the colourful mood of the day.
