tivity about this community.

from Class 8, Samarth Parmar and Satya

ported by their Peer Mentor Sakshi Gupta

The society has two goals: to promote

cleanliness and to support an orphanage.

the middle school.

Orphanage: TAS has chosen to work with the Earth Saviour’s

Foundation in Vasant Kunj. They will visit the orphanage once a

month, conduct activities for the children, help them with their

homework and donate books and eatables. Next visit is scheduled

on Saturday, 16 Nov 2013.
