🎲🌍 When Learning Becomes Real
What if climate education wasn’t a lecture…
but an experience?
The awareness session was inaugurated by
Dr. Jyothi Krishnan (HOD, MSW Disaster Management, Loyola College of Social Sciences)
With the support of Loyola College,
we created something different:
🎭 Role plays
🎲 Snake & Ladder climate game
📖 Storytelling & poetry
Children didn’t just learn climate change—
they felt it, played it, understood it.
And something powerful happened:
👉 They saw themselves as change-makers.

🎁🌱A Small Token, A Big Bond

Every journey is built on people.

As a gesture of gratitude,
our team shared a small token of love with the guests and supporters who stood with us.

Because behind every tree planted
there are hands, hearts, and belief. ❤️

♻️🌍 More Than Just a Forest

Planting trees is not enough.
Sustaining them is everything.

That’s where the Haritha Kerala Mission stepped in
a government initiative working to build a cleaner, greener Kerala through waste management and ecological restoration.

Through an insightful session led by Smt. Lilly (Block Coordinator, Haritha Kerala Mission), the community learned a powerful truth:

👉 How we manage waste decides how our environment survives.

Because a forest cannot grow in a polluted ecosystem.
Real sustainability begins with responsibility.💚

🌿✨ The Forest is Born

June 15–17, 2023.
A moment we will never forget.

The Haritha Dwani mini forest took its first breath. 🌱

The inauguration was led by Shri Shaiju (Forest Range Officer), marking the beginning of something truly meaningful for the community.

🌱 Shri V. Laiju (Anjuthengu Panchayat President) planted the first sapling—symbolizing leadership and commitment to the environment.

🎤 Smt. Bindhu (Headmistress, GBBLP School Anjuthengu) delivered a special address, inspiring students and community members to take ownership of the initiative.

Community leaders, students, and families came together
🤝 A shared act
❤️ A shared hope
🌍 A shared future

This was not just planting trees.
This was planting belief.

🎨🌿 Colors with a Message

Before the trees arrived,
the walls began to speak.

From May 26–28,
a simple space transformed into a message

✨ Through art, volunteer Aparna turned a wall into a reminder:
Nature is not separate from us.
It is part of us.

This wasn’t decoration.
It was awareness.

And slowly…
the space started to feel alive. 🌳

🏗️🌱 It All Starts in the Dirt

Before anything could grow,
we had to prepare the ground.

Between May–July 2023,
our journey began not with planting
but with building the foundation.

🌍 Soil was prepared
🤝 People came together
💪 Hands got dirty

MGNREGA workers, Anganwadi staff, local residents
this was never a solo effort.

It was a community saying:
👉 “We are ready.”

The land was no longer empty.
It was waiting.❤️

🏫 Why BB GLPS Anjengo?

If you want to change the future
you don’t start with systems.
You start with children.🎓
BB GLPS Anjengo is more than a school.

It is where the next generation of this coastal community is growing
learning, observing, and shaping their understanding of the world.🌍

In a place vulnerable to climate risks,
these children are not just students
they are future decision-makers, protectors, and voices of change.

By working here, we weren’t just planting trees…
🌱 we were planting awareness
🌱 building responsibility
🌱 and nurturing climate leaders

Because real change lasts only when the next generation carries it forward.❤️

🌱 Roots of Change: Anchuthengu (Anjengo)
Four years ago, in a small coastal village called Anchuthengu, everything began.
This wasn’t just a location.

It was a community on the frontlines
🌊 facing coastal erosion
🌪️ climate uncertainty
📉 and limited opportunities for the next generation

We didn’t arrive with solutions. We arrived with one question:
👉 What if change starts from within the community itself?

That question became our first project:
Haritha Dwani - Voice of Nature 🌿a small step toward climate action (SDG 13), building sustainable communities (SDG 11), protecting life on land (SDG 15), and creating learning opportunities through quality education (SDG 4) for the next generation.

This journey was made possible with initial support from Peace First, received through Captains Social Foundation a belief in youth-led action that helped turn an idea into impact.

And what followed… changed everything. ✨

Lamp for the Lost (L4L) is a youth-led initiative from South India, standing with communities facing the harsh realities of climate change displacement, loss, unemployment, poverty, and uncertainty driven by the belief that every human story deserves a light, even in the darkest times.

We work on the ground through climate storytelling, community workshops, campaigns, and capacity-building, ensuring that the voices of vulnerable communities are not just heard but acted upon.

Our goal is to empower families, children, youth, and other vulnerable groups to rebuild, adapt, and stand resilient in the face of climate-driven displacement and environmental challenges.

This is just the beginning.

Join us as we turn stories into strength and challenges into change.
