EHIS, Choithram & DPS students ready to celebrate with handmade Rakhi & Kindness

Indore takes a step ahead towards becoming clean city with eco-friendly celebrations of all the festivals. With that initiative, the city is preparing Seed Rakhi. Most of such Rakhis are prepared by kids attending workshops in schools. Furthermore, kids preparing eco-friendly Rakhi are also spreading the love by distributing these Rakhis to underprivileged kids.
Among many kids who are creating their fantastic crafts and ideas, a student of Class 8 Lakshya K said, “I love everything that is personal and simple.” He added that plastic and other materials used to make fancy Rakhis irritate his skin.
“I want to promise to my sister to protect her with love and what better than something made with love?” Lakshya said.
Another student Anay Sharma said, “I don’t have a real sister. I wish I had one, but nevertheless, I prepare a Rakhi and be-friend a tree.” He added that seed Rakhi is the best way to harness love in life.
“I love crafts, so I am making a craft Rakhi this year,” Heral Alwani, a student of Class 5, said. She doesn’t have a real brother, but will tie Rakhi to her cousins and her mom.
“My mom is my protector, so I want to tie the Rakhi to her and say thank you,” Heral said.
Students of The Emerald Heights International School (EHIS), Indore, prepared Rakhis and distributed to students at Gyanodaya School in Mhow. They prepared eco-friendly Rakhis and even seed Rakhis.
Students of Choithram School, North Campus, Indore, took a vow to celebrate the festival with eco-friendly Rakhis. In order to present their siblings with love and creativity, they prepared Rakhis using wool and other craft items.
Students of Delhi Public School, Indore, prepared Rakhi by reusing paper and leftover craft items. They chose to re-use craft papers and make traditional style colourful Rakhis.
