    By meeting youths where they were at and guiding them to where they were called to be, the Team sought a holistic transformation in their lives.

    More concretely, through the school missions and retreats and conducting , activities like sharing of life-giving values, skits , presentations and journeying with youths it was hoped that the youth would feel loved and cared for regardless of social background race or religion and thus learn to heal, love , accept and forgive themselves and lead to greater self acceptance and confidence in themselves.
    I used to visit schools with the team and provide mental health support to the children by helping in facilitating, role playing skits etc

    Forward a greener, healthier, and more sustainable way of life. The National Mission on Biodiversity and Human Well-Being is an ambitious initiative that aims to bring biodiversity and conservation to the forefront of Indian science, policy, and society's attention
    Our mandate was to document and map a biodiversity plan for our village of Moira.
    To document the flora fauna and traditional knowledge and way of life for future generations.
    Background
    Highly populated tropical countries face tremendous pressures in reconciling the needs for improved economic security and the protection of declining biodiversity. India is no exception and its biodiversity is under severe pressure due to complex interactions among land use change, other human economic activities, and climate change. Preservation and restoration of biodiversity is perhaps the cheapest and least risky way to mitigate the impacts of threats such as climate change, diminishing food and nutritional security, declining economy, absence of affordable healthcare, rising zoonotic diseases and lack of capacity to address these issues. The National Mission on Biodiversity and Human Well-Being (NMBHWB) for India integrates biodiversity, ecosystem services, climate change, agriculture, health, bio-economy and capacity building in the realm of biodiversity science
