An enlightening workshop, hosted by THE SOFT MOVE on April 06, 2023, unfolded before the eager students of Mayura School. This transformative session was dedicated to the Paper Bag Project, aiming to cultivate action-oriented sustainable practices and combat plastic waste in our community.

This remarkable initiative saw enthusiastic participation from the students of Mayura School, specifically from classes VII and VIII. They delved into the project with a passion to make a difference. The workshop equipped them with the knowledge and skills needed to create paper bags by recycling old newspapers, showcasing their commitment to sustainable living.

Their active involvement not only empowered them with practical skills but also instilled in them a profound sense of responsibility towards the environment. They pledged to incorporate more eco-friendly alternatives into their daily lives, demonstrating their unwavering dedication to protect and preserve our precious planet.
