EsselWorld-OASIS

EsselWorldEsselWorld has joined hands with an NGO – OASIS (Organisation of Aware Saviours in Society) to create environment awareness in the future generation. This involves working with schools and students to ecosensitise individuals through various ways.

In June 2004, Esselworld and OASIS launched Eco Mission - an endeavour to bring about environmental consciousness among children. Through a series of informative sessions, contests and activities, the message of saving the planet is spread to thousands of students. They also provide practical solutions to many environmental problems, which the students can easily implement. Eco-Mission 2005-06 was themes ‘Project Proactive Republic’ where more than 40 schools from across Mumbai participated.

The Eco Mission propagates environment awareness through activities throughout the year. World Forestry Day, National Nutrition Week, Water Conservation Day are celebrated with interactive skits, dance performances and exhibitions to create awareness on environment problems.

As a part of Eco Gallery, students are taken on a field trip around EsselWorld/ Water Kingdom to show the sewage treatment plant, water recycling facilities, vermiculture pits and other eco-friendly measures adopted by the park. College and school students have been trained on the right way of disposing garbage. Students have been practicing vermiculture and zero garbage in their homes. These proactive programmes have also encouraged people to liaison with organisations in their vicinity to host awareness programmes.

Eco Mission has also trained students as ‘Eco Ambassadors’ who will promote the cause of the environment in schools.

The EsselWorld-OASIS newsletter, published annually, is a treasure trove of infotainment. The newsletter is circulated in all schools.
