As part of World Clean Up Day events around the world, the children of Gurukula – The Hare Krishna Primary School, located near Bhaktivedanta Manor, joined hands to care for their environment through a spirited community clean-up.
Organised by the school’s Eco Council, the initiative saw students aged 4–11 working together to tidy both the Gurukula grounds and the neighbouring Hilton Hotel car park. The Eco Council designed posters to promote the event, delivered a school-wide presentation on the importance of environmental stewardship, and guided their peers during the clean-up.
The Hilton manager personally stepped outside to thank the children, praising their enthusiasm and efforts in making a tangible difference to the local area.
“Caring for Mother Bhumi, the Earth, is a vital part of our curriculum,” said Gunacuda Dasi, Headteacher at the UK Gurukula, “Through hands-on experiences like this, we aim to nurture a lifelong respect for nature and a sense of responsibility toward protecting the environment.”
The event highlighted how environmental consciousness is woven into daily learning at Gurukula, blending education with action.
