In addition to this, the children conducted ‘Village Seva’ (Cleanliness Campaign) at the Jagathala village near Aruvankadu, that was aimed to spread awareness among the villagers about hygiene, sanitation and on healthy living.
The kid campers also extended their service for a day in 'Little Sister" Old Age Home at Coonoor to shower their love and care for the inmates there. The children also participated in a tree plantation drive at Wellington as part of environment protection.
