Wednesday 22 October 2014, In

the morning of the day, Ms Megha-

na reminded us what to do in case

of fire. We all were listening to her,

shortly after she finished her

speech. he fire alarm bell rang, tell-

ing us to go out for a practice.

We didn't know about this alarm,

we were told that it was likely to

start after break but for some rea-

son it started in the core value peri-

od. Then we spent around 15

minutes outside, on the field to

practice this situation which can oc-

cur at any point of time.

On 18th of October 2014, an eco-

conference was conducted by the

Green Hope Foundation. The or-

ganization also supports the “He

for She” campaign. The confer-

ence started at 8am and ended

around 2pm. A few students from

different schools were chosen to

attend this event including TWS.

These students were divided in

groups named by the causes and

effects of the environment like

landfill, global warming and etc.

There were activities, discussions

and a lot of speakers and guest

speakers. The first activity held

was tree planting in the park and

I found it a difficult task, but I

had a really good time doing it.

After getting back to school, the

guest speakers started telling us

about the environment and that

we should be aware of it. The

speakers really created an aware-

ness among each student and

teacher who was there. We had

our break for a few minutes, then

back to the topic.

The next activity held was ques-

tion and answer. This part of the

Eco-Conference

conference was really tricky, but

fun. Third activity was poster

making using a shirt instead of a

canvas. I found this activity really

challenging. The last activity

was to discuss the problems

in the environment and fig-

uring out a solution for that

problem. Prizes were given

to the winners of each activi-

ty.

It was a great experience be-

ing there and I hope this

campaign never fails to

achieve its goal. By the end of

the day, all students who par-

ticipated in the conference

received certificates of par-

ticipation.
