Here's a report from Naomi and Eva of LEAF GC on their successful UN Night campaign featured in an earlier post (1st Octber 2013)
".......We presented in assemblies, posted on grade walls on Facebook, wrote
about it in EBrief and Dunia to make sure that students, faculty and parents
were all informed about what was happening on the night itself. Because of
this, the process of which we sold the corn ware products went swiftly and
efficiently, thus letting our guests enjoy and take in more of joyful
atmosphere that surrounded us all.

In the end, majority of the people had come back
and returned the boxes and cutlery, and on top of that, numerous guests didn't
even ask for the money back, giving us the money as a donation. With this money
that we accumulated, we are now able to donate it to a cause we believe
strongly in which is to plant trees in Ladakh. We think that this is a good
cause because not only does it dispose of air and view pollution but also makes
our lives more colorful and full of life. Without any of your help, this would
not have been possible! So on behalf of the whole Leaf GC, we wanted to extend
our utmost thanks to every one of you who helped make this dream a reality for
our GC. Even though, we are a small GC and this may have been a small action
that we took on, we all must realize and remember that even the smallest
actions count, whatever it may be, small or big, as long as you did it for the
better, every bit counts! So yet again, thank you for your contribution and
thank you for enabling us to make a difference in our community. We hope that
next year and the following years after that, we will be able to continue to
make UN night a successful
plastic free event."
