Children’s day was celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm in the neighbourhood. Here is a glimpse of the celebrations:
A walk along the Buckingham Canal
On the occasion of Children’s Day, an enthusiastic group of students from Sri Sankara Vidyashramam Matriculation Higher Sec. School, Thiruvanmiyur, embarked on a unique and educational nature and heritage walk along the Buckingham Canal in Thiruvanmiyur.
This initiative, conducted in collaboration with the Environmentalist Foundation of India (EFI), offered students an opportunity to connect with the natural and cultural heritage of their surroundings. Volunteers from EFI shared the importance of Buckingham Canal which once served as a major waterway, facilitating trade and transportation.
“It reinforced the importance of preserving the environment and instilled a sense of responsibility in each participant to protect and cherish the resources,” said a statement from the school.
