" A tree is a lesson in life. A tree has patience. It stands facing the sun, rain and storm, uncomplaining. A tree is symbolic of growth. It inspires me to spread out." - Sadhu T.L. Vasvani
The objective of the school programs is providing an outing, which is a nature based learning experience besides fun and frolic. These modules bridge the gap in school curriculum and outdoor practical experiences. The participants go back with newfound knowledge and a respect and appreciation for nature and wildlife. They even start appreciating the smallest denizens of our life form.
The programs are designed in such a manner to ensure that there is a high level of interaction, group discussion and participation. The content insures that a strong foundation is built for future interest and life long appreciation for that subject.
The modules focus on a unique style of teaching and learning, where the learning is fun and the participants come forward with ideas and initiative. The team is drawn from various fields and provides an ideal mix of learning and exposure. One common platform they share is the love for wildlife and nature and a motive to ensure that they leave behind enough young green warriors to protect our planet.
