11th December 2013 – Nature Walk
 ‘One touch of nature makes the whole world kin’
There is so much beauty all around us to see, touch and hear. Nature is so miraculous because it is always changing. No matter how many times you look at something, it is always different.
In order to welcome and feel the beauty of nature, SGS organized a ‘Nature Walk’ for the classes of BUDS in sec-18, Dwarka park on 11th December 2013.
The children saw beautiful flowers and leaves. The importance of why we need to plant more trees was discussed with the children, thereby telling the children how we as individuals can contribute towards the environment.
We hope that this endeavour will be a steping stone towards student’s involvement in conserving and preserving our mother nature and thus making the children understand that nature is truly an important part of our lives.
