Green Club Zunheboto: A group of young people, mostly students contributing their time, effort and own resources to bring about some change in their town. In the pictures are students of Nito Theological College, Zunheboto Government College, Cornerstone School and some members of the club joining hands to clean the garbage-ridden public area, planting trees and flowers at 6:00 AM in the morning.
22nd July 2011: Women Leaders' training on holistic leadership : Organized by the SBAK Women's Department networking over 140 villages and towns in Zunheboto District and surrounding areas through local churches. The local churches irrespective of denominations are the most enrolled and strongest social bodies in the villages and towns of this region. Women leaders from their respective villages and towns attended a two-day seminar on a number of topics ranging from 'Impact of Women's Self-Help Groups' to ecology. The Village Microscope was invited to discuss about Current Environmental Issues and Climate Change. These enthusiastic and talented women leaders of all ages learned about environmental pollution, the need to protect our wildlife and forests, which countries are making the most carbon emissions and why, plastic bags vs cloth bags, and why women and children in rural areas of developing countries are more vulnerable to extreme events and effects of environment pollution.
23rd July 2011: Green Club Zunheboto: More Tree-planting and Cleanliness Drive
We need help to mobilize young people and the local community especially to organize Environmental Awareness Programs, training for women on various gender-related issues, Sustainable Agriculture (slash and burn is still the dominant agricultural practice), building civic sense and preserving cultural songs and stories and other oral tradition. Your ideas, resources and suggestions and constructive contribution of any sort will be most welcome. Thank you! Please contact at lushella.gimms@gmail.com
