Students concerned about environmental issues

June 5, 2024, A Plantation and Sanitation Program was held on World Environment Day by Nepal Unites as part of the School Relation Tour Program at the Global English Boarding School, Rajbiraj-7, Saptari, Madhesh Province, which is located in the Eastern Part of Nepal.

This program intended to increase student responsibility for environmental issues and the Plastic Free School movement.

The Nepal Unites team engaged with the students regarding climate change and plastic pollution in Nepal. And also discussed the effects of plastic on rivers, mountainous areas, roads, temples, and daily life. Along with learning about workable ways to reduce plastic pollution, the students were motivated to take proactive measures to safeguard their environment.

Students are encouraged to take responsibility for environmental problems and express their commitment to engage in the school’s sanitation program.

“It is our responsibility to protect and preserve the sustainability of the environment,” says Safalta Bhujel, a student at this school.

In total, over 80 students took part in the program with enthusiastic participation.

School Relation Tour is now in operation

In May, Nepal Unites visited four private and government schools in Rajbiraj, Saptari, Madhesh Province as part of the School Relation Tour Program to engage with the students as a new generation in the Nepal Unites movement and Peace Club.
