More than 250 children from 30 slums participated in the third Raahgiri celebration here this Sunday. The City level Children’s Federation showed the way how to manage garbage in the slums and elsewhere in the city. The kids also played fun games like holla hoops and ball throw.
The children performed a street play on how to manage the garbage in the city. The message from the children was strong: Segregate garbage from the source and use tri-colour dustbins. The message was also sent to the Brahmapur Municipal Corporation to collect and recycle the garbage regularly to make the city clean, safe, healthy and hygienic.
The children also sent a message to make the city child-friendly.
The Youth for Social Development (YSD) also participated in the Raahgiri Day-3. The YSD has been working to improve the living condition of poor urban children.
