If you are considering volunteering, now is an excellent time to get involved. The rainy season has arrived, bringing with it a plethora of green activities. These activities range from seed ball making to plantation drives and more. The rains provide the perfect conditions for planting and nurturing new life, making it an ideal time for environmental initiatives. This season also coincides with the re-opening of schools. As children return to their classrooms, there are numerous advocacy sessions focused on cleanliness, garbage management and biodiversity. These sessions are crucial for educating the younger generation about the importance of maintaining a clean and green environment. Various NGOs, community services and even common citizens organize these sessions, making it a collaborative effort. There is a wide array of volunteering activities planned by different organizations. From planting trees to conducting cleanliness drives, there is something for everyone.
