Students of RBK International
Academy Chembur on the streets to clean them up !
Inspired by our Prime Minister Mr
Narendra Modi’s SWATCHATA ABHIYAN or
“Clean India Campaign” we at RBKIA have taken an initiative of cleaning up the
two patches of roads near our school, as a part of Community and Service activity. The students
of grades 6, 7 and 8 along with their home room teachers and C & S teachers participated
in it. The children were provided with
disposable gloves and masks and brooms with long handles.
The whole team of our
young children who are the responsible citizens of tomorrow were filled
with gusto and seriously got into
cleaning mode without any pranks or fun during their activity period on
Thursday 13th November 2014. We had taken due consent from the parents
who were happy with the school for such an initiative.
Our children who I’m sure have
not touched brooms at home, cleaned the roads without any fuss. It was a great
experience for me to sweep the streets with all my students almost for an hour!
Well when these kids were out in hot sun, my conscience did not permit me to
sit in my AC cabin.....I just wanted to be with them......practice before I
preached.
It is a shining example of
dignity of labour in action, the principles of which we inculcate and instil in
our children at RBKIA. This is the first step to a more glorious nation!
Thank you children for an
excellent job done and thank you parents for your wonderful support. I'm so very proud of you all.
Read the reflection of one of my students, Aditya studying in Grade 7
Today the 17th
of November grades 6, 7 and 8 participated in the Prime Minister’s Swach Bharat
campaign. We were given a parent consent form which had to be submitted
earliest by Monday and latest by Wednesday. My grade was very happy after
getting the form and all of them wanted to come.
Today was the day we were
waiting for it was the Swach Bharat campaign! I could feel the intensity in the
air we were just waiting for this activity. Our teacher Ms Swati brought us
down grade wise. The drive started with the students of grade 6 on the road
near rear gate and then was followed by the students of Grade 7 and 8 on the road near the other
school gate.
Our Management Representative, Dr Arundhati
Hoskeri made us wear the glove and a
protective mask to protect ourselves from dust and any possible infection. I
was quite surprised when Arundhati ma’am told us that many schools are
participating in this drive in Mumbai but we were the first school in Chembur
area to do so. As I recall ma’am said “We are the pioneers.” And I also agree
with ma’am on that we all at RBKIA shall
mean our slogan “Reach beyond Knowing.”
How Henry Ford said “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working
together is success.” so if we all work together India can become both
clean and efficient!
