If you have a passion for the environment it is possible to teach environmental awareness in local schools, within the community, or in the many childrens home our volunteers serve. In the past volunteers have formed student groups to work on environmental projects based on their personal expertise and the needs of the village community. Example projects include: creating "green" clubs, planting a flower garden, planting trees, garbage management, recycling programs, making a smokeless stove, building a toilet pit, etc. It is also possible to share your ideas, skills and knowledge with local NGO's about environmental issues. Environmental Awareness activities and programmes can also be undertaken in the childrens home we currently serve. In this setting projects could include; informing children about the hazards of inappropriate garbage disposal, building a compost bin and teaching the children how to maintain it, creating paper recycling stations to teach the children a valuable skill that could ultimately be used in their future.
