“We have not inherited this earth from our forefathers; we have borrowed it from our children” iterates Siruthuli team, who are all set to commence their 11th year Nature Camp for school children. As always, this NGO reminds us of our responsibility for a cleaner and Greener World for our children. Instilling sustainable and eco-friendly values in our children towards protection and conservation of Mother Earth is definitely the need of the hour.
Team Siruthuli shares about the insights of the camp, 'It's just not another nature camp, but it's 'Nurture' Nature Camp which promises to impart training to around 120 students from various schools of the region.
