Our initiatives
The pollution level in Kathmandu is alarming. Kathmandu Don Bosco felt a need to create awareness among the local community. So, a weeklong cleaning campaign was jointly organized by Kathmandu Don Bosco Alumni and Third Eye Youth Club, a local club of New Baneshwore. The campaign that started on 5th of April ended on 11th April, 2009.
On the first day of the campaign, a rally was organized from the college premise to Buddhanagar, Shankhamul and the rally finally ended in New Baneshwor. Large number of students, teachers, and members of KDBC Alumni and Third Eye Youth club that participated in the rally cleaned the New Baneshwor area on the first day.
Throughout the week, students, teachers and members of KDBC Alumni and Third Eye Youth Club cleaned New Baneshwor, Everest Bank area,
KDBC principal Kapil Dev Regmi, Vice Principal Samjhana Kharel, Science incharge Rajendra Pd. Pangeni, Assistance In-charge Udaya Raj Paudel, Morning shift Assistant In-charge Mahabir Paudyal, Finance officer Madhu Paudel, and teachers Krishna Maharjan and Laxmi Prashad Bastola actively participated in the campaign for a good cause.
There was a bandh on the second day but the alumni members and the students continued their work. The cleaning campaign was not only aimed for cleaning purpose but also to make the local community aware that garbage and waste should not be scattered on the street or on open spaces just because it is convenient.
Likewise, the third and fourth day areas of Buddha Nagar and Shankhamul were covered. On the fifth day Cleaning Campaign moved from Shankhamul to New Baneswor and then ended in front of Kathmandu Don Bosco premises. Onlookers and passerby praised the initiative and some helped by donating carton boxes. On the very last day of the campaign, all the participants gathered and applauded for themselves and the week long program ended with refreshments.
