"Planting trees is more than an act of conservation; it's a commitment to a healthier planet and future generations." – Jyotshana Bhattarai (Green Fellow, 2024)

Green Fellow Jyotshana Bhattarai from Nepal, led a dynamic environmental outreach program, bringing hands-on sustainability education to schools, temples, and community centers.

Engaging Schools and Communities

At Nexus International Academy in Kathmandu, Jyotshana facilitated an interactive session for teachers, students, and staff, highlighting the importance of tree planting. The session concluded with a hands-on tree-planting activity, reinforcing the message of sustainability through direct action.
