🌍 Celebrating World Environment Day in Welimada🌱
Our youth aren't just the future—they are today's leading voices for climate resilience!
On June 5th, 2026, the KFHI Welimada Team joined forces with the incredible students, teachers, and School Committee of Welimada Central College to host a powerful World Environment Day Commemoration and Public Awareness Campaign.
With 150 students taking the lead as newly minted Environmental Ambassadors, we took our climate mitigation message straight to the heart of Welimada Town!
🚶♂️ Shouting Out for the Planet
Following an inspiring awareness session at the school, 181 passionate participants marched through the streets of Welimada Town carrying banners, posters, and placards championing:
• 🌲 Deforestation prevention and tree planting
• 💧 Protecting rivers, streams, and natural waterways from pollution
• 🛑 Stopping risky land cutting on hilly slopes to prevent landslides
• ♻️ Embracing the 5R Concept (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover/Rot)
🎭 Climate Change, Center Stage!
To bridge the gap between complex science and daily life, our talented students performed a captivating street drama at the Welimada Main Bus Stand and town center. Through storytelling and creative acting, they beautifully drove home the importance of proper waste segregation, dropping the habit of public spitting/betel chewing for communal hygiene, and ditching single-use plastics.
✨ The Ripple Effect
By equipping these young leaders with public advocacy and communication skills, this campaign has successfully planted the seeds of environmental responsibility across entire neighborhoods, local businesses, and commuter networks. Together, we are building a cleaner, greener, and more climate-resilient Welimada!
