The Gaia Conservation Foundation (Gaia) is a non-profit organization that carries out afforestation projects in Mumbai. Its larger goal is to combat climate change and safeguard the environment.
I led a team of students from my school to organize an inter-school football tournament in order to raise funds for Gaia. We raised enough for the planting of about 100 trees, simultaneously spreading awareness about climate change amongst the participants and their families. The tournament will continue as an annual tradition at my school, supporting various causes in the future.
Through this process, I gained some valuable insight about the importance of coming up with creative solutions to overcome obstacles. I also realised how strong communication is the foundation of any successful initiative!
