On June 5th, 2022, we celebrated the 49th World Environment Day with great enthusiasm and purpose. Our event took place at Vijayanagar Gov. High School and Rajapur Gov. High School in Kalaburagi, where we planted five plants in each school's playground. This initiative was a collaborative effort involving students, teachers, and esteemed guests like Fr. John, the school principals, coordinators from CREAM and CHILDLINE, and our team from Don Bosco Tech.

The theme for this year's celebration was "Only One Earth: Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature." We aimed to raise awareness about our environment and the world we live in, emphasizing the vital role of trees in sustaining life on Earth. Fr. John delivered a compelling speech, highlighting the importance of trees and the environment in regulating vital ecosystems and ensuring the Earth's well-being.

The event was not just about planting trees; it was about instilling a deep understanding of environmental stewardship among the students and educators. We wanted everyone to appreciate the interconnectedness of all living beings and the Earth's delicate balance. By involving students from our center, Batch B1, in an online performance, we added a touch of creativity and engagement to the celebration, making it meaningful and impactful.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this World Environment Day a success. Let's continue to work together to protect and preserve our planet for future generations.
