This document summarizes a project by students from Bombay Scottish School to educate illiterate people about the environment. The students set up a stall to raise funds and then bought school supplies and taught environmental lessons to children at a local crèche. They taught the children about keeping their surroundings clean and conserving the environment. The children enjoyed their visits and helped identify others who were wasting water. The students thanked their principal and Design for Change for supporting the project.

4. Problem Should only the learned people be educated about the environment ,don’t even the illiterate people have the right to be educated about the environment? In fact the illiterate people help more in the conservation of the environment than the literate people.

5. Ideas Thought by us At first we just decided to give a donation to them and buy a few things as a social help. After thinking a little we asked ourselves “why don’t we teach them a few things. Then we finally decided to teach them about environment.

6. We put up a stall in the MCGM ground Raheja Vihar, Powai to raise funds. We bought day to day articles as well as thought them various things. We bought for them mirrors, pencils, erasers, charts on learning, books, activity books etc. we taught them how important is it to keep surroundings clean and also the conservation of the environment
