About:
My name is Shashini. I am 11 years old and a Grade 6 student filled with inspiration and positivity at DPS Electronic City, Bengaluru.
I have undertaken this campaign because I was surprised to learn that many students from low-income homes in Karnataka, who go to school (mainly govt schools), do not have basic school gear like proper footwear or a school bag, and often sit on the hard ground in order to study at school.
Sitting down on the floor for long periods of time means 9 in 10 students will face posture-related problems. It also has an indirect impact on their eyesight and their ability to concentrate and study. Lack of footwear also leads to foot-related diseases and health issues.
On the other hand, Bengaluru is also very polluted. Almost 8 cities are needed to dump all the waste making it into landfills. Clothes and shoes have a big majority in them.
So I’m trying to raise money by campaigning for those future doctors and scientists for these amazing up-cycled back to school kits. This is great solution for both of these big and dangerous situations
