on the high way from Chennai to Bangalore.

We painfully came to know that a lot of fatal accidents had taken place on the high way.

So we took an initiative to help in preventing these accidents from occurring.

would help the drivers on the highways to

, to solve this problem we got the brlliant idea

of using reflectors on.vehicles

STEP 2: IMAGINESTEP 2: IMAGINEWe thought that sticking reflectors on the parked vehicles would help to reduce the number of accidents occurring in the highway.

For raising the amount of money needed for purchasing the reflectors we thought of asking our class mates to donate a small portion of their pocket money.

And stage a play that depicts the risk of neglecting traffic rules and reckless driving.

All the members of our team planned to visit the nearby petrol bunks and parking lots.

“The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success. “ The goal was achieved not only as individuals but as a team. We never expected that our group of 5 children were able to play a part in helping the society towards a problem which many face in their daily life.
