leadership activity at Unkal Lake

Dear all

Activity performed at Unkal Kere, Hubli

The activity or campaign was conducted on 25th of Jan 2009 at 06:00 am by Ms.Gayatri, Mr.Veeresh, Mr.Shambuling, Mr.Lakshmish.
The aim of the activity was make the people take responsibility of social properties and to conserve them for next generation.
The objectives of the activities were
1. To bring in awareness about cleanliness, conserving the natural resources and proper utilization of the facilities provided by Government.
2. To bring in the notice to the Government about the mismanagement by the authorities.
3. Educate the society about health and hygiene through various activities like drama, skit, role plays etc
Reason for choosing particular activity: During the previous visit to Unkal lake by the fellows, came across about the unhealthy condition inside the park over there, cows and buffalo lying inside the park making the surrounding area stingy by dung all around. Gutka packs and waster paper lying throughout the park. Waste water from the companies surrounding the park enters inside and has made the part of park stagnant with drainage water. Waste thrown all over the park made it very untidy and created an unpleasant environment for those who come there for better healthy condition. This brought in the idea of advocacy in the mind of group members.

Activity: The group members led by Ms.Gayathri and Mr.Veeresh joined by Mr.Shambuling and Mr.Lakshmish as followers started cleaning the park by picking up the garbage lying all around the greenery area of the park. All the four members pecked the waste and collected it in one corner of the park. It was not an easy task as the waste was just spread over the park in each and every corner. Picking glass pieces of the cool drinks bottle and gutka packing cover was really a challenging job for the group.

The people who came for walking and jogging were slowly attracted by our activities. They started coming to us to interact what was happening and started sharing their views. They appreciated the work performed by the group.
