Green initiatives taken at H.C. Auxilium, R.K. Puram

On 21st January Holy Child Auxilium School, R.K. Puram of Class 2 students presented an inspiring and creative assembly on the theme, “How We Can Take Care of Nature and Share Its Gifts with Others.” The assembly beautifully illustrated the importance of using nature’s resources wisely, sharing them fairly, and taking small actions to protect the planet. The program began with a relatable and engaging analogy. The students asked the audience to imagine a big cake. If one person eats most of it, there won’t be enough for others. However, if everyone takes only what they need, there will be enough for all, with some left over. This simple example introduced the concept of ecological economics, which emphasizes using nature’s gifts carefully so that no one is harmed and resources are preserved for future generations. The students shared actionable tips to care for nature, such as turning off taps to save water, planting trees, throwing trash in bins, and avoiding food waste. They highlighted how small actions, when done by everyone, can make a big difference in protecting the planet. A heartwarming story, “The Boy and the Tree,” was performed by the students to reinforce the message. The story depicted a boy who loved a tree that gave him shade, fruits, and a place to rest. When the boy decided to cut the tree for wood, the tree asked, “If you cut me, where will you rest and play?” This made the boy realize how much the tree cared for him, and he promised to protect it forever. The moral of the story, “Take care of nature, and it will take care of you,” was delivered with sincerity and clarity. The students also shared thought-provoking quotes to inspire the audience. Mahatma Gandhi’s words, “Nature provides enough for everyone’s needs, but not for everyone’s greed,” and Howard Zinn’s reminder, “Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world,” resonated deeply. The assembly concluded with a heartfelt prayer, where students expressed gratitude for the beauty of nature and sought guidance to protect and share it responsibly. The program ended on a high note with all students pledging to take care of the Earth and encouraging others to join them in preserving its beauty. Class 2’s assembly was a touching reminder that even young voices can inspire positive change. Their creative and thoughtful presentation left everyone motivated to take small steps every day to ensure a greener, healthier planet for all.
