On 13th November, 2010, in the morning we the students of IBDP Year-1 and Year-2 along with our CAS co-ordinater and other teachers began our journey to the historical fort in pune, named Sinhagarh Fort with a motive of community service. We reached the fort at 11 a.m. and unloaded the stuff we bought with us which includes our lunch, some snacks, water and things required for cleaning the area.
We began our work as per the instructions of our teachers. We wore gloves and each were given one garbage bag so as to collect all the non-biodegradable waste from the whole area. We were divided into two groups, one group started from Kalyan gate and the other from Pune gate.
We worked continuously for several hours collecting all the waste in the garbage bag and till the lunch time each one of has returned to the place, where we meant to meet, with a bag full of garbage. There we washed our hands and prepare the salads. After that we had our lunch and a small talk with our teachers telling them about our experience. After this we went for a tour of the fort and saw several historical statues and the stones on which the history about the war was written which happened long back ago.
Finally we finished our tour in the evening and returned back to school with lots of enjoyment in the way as well. So in this way we collected 7 hours of service and more than that a great satisfaction.
