At Manjunatha Rural School in Nelamangala, Bangalore, students lacked the number of school benches to cater to all. For these children, who dreamt of a better future, the lack of proper seating was something that everyone could not be left unnoticed. Their classrooms, meant to be spaces of growth and possibility, were instead places of discomfort, making learning a daily challenge.
But then, a ray of hope arrived. A private individual, deeply moved by the hardships these children faced, decided to make a difference. They donated 50 unWOOD School Benches. The benches were more than just furniture; they were a lifeline, a promise of comfort, dignity, and an environment where learning could flourish.
When the benches arrived, there was lack of manpower to offload them. But the girls, eager and excited, wouldn’t let this stop them. They rushed to the trucks, their hearts full of anticipation, and began unloading the benches themselves. This was more than a task; it was a moment of pure joy and ownership. The benches weren’t just about sitting, they were a tangible symbol of change, of empowerment, and a brighter future.
Each bench represented a small but important victory in the battle against pollution and deforestation.
With proper seating, students could finally focus. Their happy faces are for everyone to see. The donation did more than improve infrastructure; it ignited a spark of hope and a sense of responsibility for both education and the planet.
Students were taught about recycling, and the environmental impact of everyday plastic waste, highlighting their role in the circular economy.
