Principal, Lunar English Boarding School

Among various social organizations present in Nepal, SAMDAN is the one truly dedicated to social awareness and multipurpose development. It's already 5 years that SAMDAN and Lunar English Boarding School are in connection. SAMDAN has always helped us achieve what seemed impossible with brilliant support and expertise. Thank you SAMDAN.

Lunar has been able to maintain a neat, clean and green eco-friendly environment in the school premises with SAMDAN's cooperative support and involvement. The role played by SAMDAN in solid waste management and plantation activities is really praiseworthy. "Waste is no more waste" — the students of Lunar have learnt to make useful things from so-called waste. SAMDAN has made our students creative; they make artistic and useful things from waste. SAMDAN from time to time supports, coordinates and conducts various programmes and competitions like sports, art and craft exhibition, speech, drawing etc. to enhance the skills, talents and creativity of students. Your vision and objectives are so clear, so pure and so holy. Words are not enough to thank you for everything you have done for us.

Vice Principal, White Heaven Academy

Within the past few years, we have been suddenly awakened to the dangers caused by mismanagement of waste. It is prominent in the form of different kinds of environmental pollution and much bigger threats as a result of them.

SAMDAN Children-BEEP has been leading a waste management program in our school, White Heaven Academy, for two and a half years now. It is an integrated approach where waste management is done at the source combined with awareness/training programs along with garden maintenance. Waste segregation is done in all areas of waste production followed by waste collection which is recycled/reused at SAMDAN's collection center. The organization also takes students on field visits to dumping sites, biogas plants and recycling centers. Besides, weekly class is run on recycling techniques that provide students with different recycling and handicraft skills. The project is especially effective because it gives students perspective on why waste management is important and how to effectively manage it.

Incorporating waste management in schools is crucial to combat this issue in the long run. A well-informed child grows up to be a responsible citizen. We are very grateful to SAMDAN Children for such a far-sighted project running in multiple schools with big potential for a clean nation.
