Dharamshala Environment Preservation Network, a group of 8 local organisations determined to work together to tackle the ever growing garbage issue, met at Nishtha last week. As well as learning how to make natural soap under the expert guidance of Tenzin Palmo, an English teacher from TCV school, they discussed how to take the opportunity on Environment day to spread awareness of the importance of each one of us taking responsibility for the proper disposal of our own waste. Nishtha was proud to host this event and provided tea and snacks to all the participants.
