Spotfix in Saket (with video)

A spotfix after a long time! This was a spot near Max Super Specialty Hospital in Saket. The spot was a victim of open garbage dumping from nearby residential areas. Max sought our support to organize this spotfix cum cleanliness drive in this area involving their own staff - KUDOS!

We were glad to see a lot of enthusiastic volunteers not only from Max itself but also from our social media followers apart from some regular WMTC volunteers. Best part - we also had support from South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and the Public Works Department (PWD).

The volunteers began on a high energy note to clear the garbage along with SDMC and PWD staff. Some of our volunteers also engaged with locals to create awareness on littering and garbage dumping. Finally, we all then gave the place an aesthetic look by painting the wall with some abstract artwork.

Even with a sultry weather the whole exercise was full of lots of fun and frolics. Additionally, we also got to meet some new volunteers who gave us some brilliant ideas we are now eagerly looking to execute! Please join us... it'll be fun!

Here's the video of the day:

What happens when many hands come together?

An exciting day for us. We never tried it before at this scale at such a location. But with a little help from everyone the day turned out to be outstanding! The place is Janakpuri District Center. It's a large shopping center in west Delhi. Home to various kinds of shops, eateries, restaurants and even offices. Also, a perpetual victim of civil negligence by those who have an establishment here or the visitors to these establishments. Yes, the place maintains consistency all-year round in terms of open garbage dumping. Before we even conducted this drive we spoke to a lot of shop owners to understand the problem. It was the same lamenting around people's attitude towards littering liberally... Forget littering, people found creative ways to dump their garbage - office letter boxes! The other thing that came out of those discussions with the local shopkeepers was finger-pointing on civic authorities. Not that the place doesn't see any sweepers. We did spot one on the day of...

Embracing Nature's Gift: A Memorable Meetup and Thriving Saplings

In our tireless efforts to protect and nurture the environment, our dedicated volunteer group recently organized a meetup in Dwarka, with the primary goal of watering the saplings we had previously planted. However, the previous day had been graced by an abundant rainfall, leaving our saplings sufficiently quenched and eliminating the need for additional watering. This unexpected gift from nature served as a testament to the interconnectedness we share with the environment. It reminded us that our efforts, combined with nature's benevolence, can create a thriving ecosystem. Despite the helping hand from the rain Gods, we decided to proceed with the meetup, understanding the importance of maintaining social connections and strengthening our bond as a volunteer community. It was heartwarming to meet two new volunteers who had traveled all the way from Gurugram to join us. The highlight of the meetup was undoubtedly witnessing the remarkable growth of our saplings. As we surveyed the ...
