Out of many health activities in the school, mass cleaning campaign is one of the important activities in the school. On 28th April, Darla school conducted mass cleaning campaign. We called off the afternoon class, and students and teachers gathered in the assembly ground. The campaign begun with area distribution from classes IV to V. And the theme of the campaign was made loud and cleared to the students. The theme was, “Clean Darla, Clean Bhutan. Clean Bhutan, Clean Earth.” The students and teachers went to the last point of the area singing the theme and requesting parents to come out and clean. The health club members also had various massages written and pasted on their back and front part of the body.
The mass
cleaning campaign covered town and villages of Darla. Many classes of students
and teachers went as far as three kilometers from the school to clean and
create awareness. We covered Darla bazaar, BPPL, Police gate, RNR, and Darla
Lhakhang.
The presence of public in the cleaning campaign was
requested in teachers-parents meeting, and for that the health committee also
sent letter to bazaar thsogpa, BPPL,and the Darla Gup. Except for a few
shopkeepers for a few refreshments, a few people from Bazaar, no public came forward to clean on that day. Our main aim was to create
awareness among the public. But we feel that we have created while we went out
singing our theme loud. The presence of few public didn’t deter as we have huge
numbers of students. Not
only did our cleaning
well but also have lots of
funs. The
cleaning campaign was successful one as we collected almost 50 sacks of
waste. When we gather back in the
school, a bottle of litchi juice was given to quench thirst from the scorching
heat of the day. Below are some photos of the day.
