On the 15th of July, 50 students from classes 8 and 9 went to Khardah for an environmental trip where each of us planted a sapling; making a difference in a small way.
Early morning this Saturday we started for our destination from school on a bus. Within an hour of boarding the bus, we reached Khardah Municipal Office where we were warmly greeted with gifts and breakfast.
After which we traveled the short distances on “totes” to Bharati Sangha Club, and Laha Bagan Club for the plantations. Then we visited the 500-year-old Shyam Mandir before going to a park to rest.
We also found time to engage in a friendly environmental debate with the topic “Conservation and Development do not go Hand-in-hand” and have a lively Quiz Session followed by with Stand-Up comedy round, all of which found an audience with the current Agriculture Minister.
As a part of this trip, we learned to be mindful of our environment and take responsibility for it. We’d like to thank Mrs. A. Gomes for this invaluable experience and our LTS club animators Mrs.Singh, Mrs. Saha, and Ms. Joshi for accompanying us and being supportive throughout.
And last but not least kudos to all who came for the trip for being so enthusiastic and being a good sport!
God is our creator
God is the way
God loves us all
Out in the world there are people praying saying
Let your mercy fall
Let us join our hand and stay under one roof
Let the power of love fill our heart and make our spirit move
Together we can make the change and transform the world
That’s all we want
Chorus: Lets turn it all around
We can make the change
If we put our hands together
We’ll find a way
Justice, peace, integrity
That’s what we strive for
Years of inequality
Now will be no more
Peace is all we seek and love is all we spread
With your gracious hands you bind us with the same thread
We will change the world and make it alright
The sun will shine.
Chorus: Lets turn it all around
We can make the change
If we put our hands together
We’ll find a way …(3)
OBR Song & Lyrics
I raise my arms to the sky
On my Knees I Pray
I’m not afraid anymore
I will walk through that door
Walk, dance, rise
Walk, dance, rise
I can see a world where we all live
Safe and free from all oppression
No more rape or incest, or abuse
Women are not a possession
You’ve never owned me
don’t even know me
I’m not invisible, I’m simply
Wonderful
I feel my hear for the first time
Racing
I feel alive
I feel so amazing
I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I’ve had enough
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
Its time to break the chain,
Oh yeah
Break the Chain
Rise, dance
Rise, dance
In the middle of this madness, we will stand
I know there is better world
Take your sisters & your brothers by the hand
Reach out to every woman & girl
This is my body, my body’s holy
No more excuses, no more abuses
We are mothers, we are teachers
We are beautiful,
Beautiful creatures
I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I’ve had enough
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
Its time to break the chain, Oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
Dance Break Instrumental…..
This is my body, my body’s holy
No more excuses, no more abuses
We are mothers, we are teachers
We are beautiful,
Beautiful creatures
I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I’ve had enough
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
Its time to break the chain, Oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
Oh One Billion Rising…….
