Team : Nellai Nature Club
Location : Aanaiyar Kulam
Nellai Nature Club a group formed by nature loving souls of Nellai. The club regularly arranges Cycling trips, Bird watching, Photography, Trekking & Tree Plantation activities. The passionate team was part of India Clean Sweep 2014 where they cleaned up river Thamirabarani. This year the same passionate team has conducted a cleanup drive at Aanaiyar Kulam as part of India Clean Sweep II.
It was a gathering for a better, cleaner India. People from all age participated with lots of enthusiasm. Especially kids, who continuously popped out many interesting questions to our volunteers. Questions like "Why are we cleaning?" "Whats the use of Cleaning?" "What will happen if animals eat the plastics and other garbage that we throw ?". All in all it was a great awareness event among the children who were explained clearly on the ill effects of Plastics that we throw in our daily life. Most of the volunteers were first timers, but despite they all very actively participated in the cleanup. At the end of the day the entire pond area was much cleaner than before and all our volunteers left with a satisfied heart filled with happiness.
