"Practice what you preach,” Orchids The International School tells all of its students these days. The Orchids group of schools collaborated with the Citizens Association for Child Rights (CACR), a UNICEF development partner, to sensitise their students to the issue of plastic waste management and garbage segregation at source.

As part of this initiative, students from Stds I to X are collecting plastic waste and wrappers from their homes and neighbourhoods, and putting them in a designated spot at their respective schools, where CACR volunteers pick them up every 15 days to send it for recycling.
