hygiene by making use of sterilized
gloves, medicated facial masks and
aprons. The best part of the project
was the immediate reaction of the

public to our action. Various media
persons were also their and supporting
our noble cause. Seeing us following

refrained from their habit of littering
around as a mark of respect to our
efforts. This was how we had a
successfully concluded project.
