In a season of giving, Christel House kids give back to a local neighborhood. "It's in projects like these that our students not only serve their community but also learn valuable experiences,” says Maya Abhimanyu, Christel House India’s Head of Academics. Grade 11 students transformed a neighborhood eyesore into a work of art. "They have made a lasting impact." The community area was a dumping ground for trash. Students decided to do something about it. Working with BBMP Solid Waste Management, students removed ten loads of debris from the site! The students did not stop at clearing the waste. They brought paint brushes, and gallons of colorful paint and created beautiful murals on the now clean walls. Neighbors expressed thanks for the hard work of the Christel House India students. "We are very happy to be part of the cleaning drive," says Rakshitha, one of the students. "Now the place has been transformed into a selfie point,: she says proudly.
