Organic Farming
“Planting vegetables in our school garden and
selling them was one of the most enlightening
tasks. One of the best things about this
process was that I was always learning. It was
fun to convince people to buy our organic
vegetables and people bought them too!”

A Taste of Making Chutneys
“I remember it as if it were yesterday, it was a
jovial Saturday morning and my friends and I
were in the cafeteria kitchen with our
teachers making delicious organic dips and
chutneys for the upcoming Ace-Adventura
Carnival. I recall that I made spinach chutney
and hummus. I enjoyed tasting a little bit of
every dip that was made. (As a taste check of
course!) It became especially fun when we
used a weighing scale for filling each jar
equally. I learnt several delicious recipes and
some kitchen tips and tricks (For eg: how to
peel a garlic clove easily).”

Cutting Vegetables in the Cafeteria
Kitchen of the School!
“I was involved in a number of activities
during this campaign, but the ones that I
was really intrigued by were the ones that
went on behind-the-scenes, especially when
we were cutting vegetables in the school
canteen. This part of the campaign didn’t
just teach me how to cut vegetables, but it
also taught us that there are various
processes that go on behind-the-scenes to
make a product, which the consumer does
not even think about. Through this
campaign, I got to learn a lot, and I’m glad
that I got to be a part of it!”
