In celebration of World Environment Day, the youth of KCYM Vijayapuram Diocese launched the Clean Drive, a month-long environmental campaign aimed at promoting cleanliness, preserving nature, and raising awareness about environmental protection. The initiative saw enthusiastic participation from various units across the diocese, including events organized by Pattithanam, Peerumade Zone, and Munnar Zone.
Engaging the Community in Environmental Action
Throughout the month, the youth worked diligently to clean and beautify their surroundings, holding various events to motivate others to take part in this noble cause. Each zone took responsibility for areas within their local communities, ensuring that public spaces were cleaned and waste was properly managed. The collaborative spirit of the campaign truly reflected the commitment of KCYM members to environmental stewardship.
Conclusion at Kumaranasan Smaraka Children’s Park
The drive culminated in a significant clean-up event held at Kumaranasan Smaraka Children’s Park, 12th Mile, Pala South. The park, a treasured space for children and families, had fallen into disrepair over time, with overgrown grass and litter diminishing its beauty. As part of the concluding event, the KCYM youth gathered at the park to restore it to its former glory.
Armed with tools and a shared mission, the team spent the day cutting the grass, removing debris, and clearing waste, breathing new life into the park. By the end of the event, Kumaranasan Smaraka Children’s Park had been revived, ready to welcome visitors once again.
A Collective Commitment to the Environment
The success of the #CleanDrive was a testament to the dedication of the KCYM Vijayapuram Diocese youth. Through their efforts, they not only made a tangible impact on the environment but also inspired others in the community to take action for a cleaner, greener future.
As the campaign drew to a close, the message of environmental responsibility remained strong. The youth pledged to continue their efforts in preserving nature and promoting sustainability, ensuring that the legacy of this World Environment Day would last far beyond the conclusion of the #CleanDrive.
This initiative was a powerful reminder that with unity and determination, even the smallest actions can make a lasting difference in our world.
