On October 11, 2024, Laxmi Vidyapeeth, managed by Smt. Shantaben Haribhai Gajera Trust in Sarigam, hosted the concluding ceremony of the ‘Plant a Smile’ Mashal run organized by *Sunita’s MakerSpace.
This event began with students from Surat Vatsalyadham initiating the Mashal Run for the ‘Plant A Smile’ campaign on the first day of Navratri. The Mashal Run passed through several schools in Navsari, Valsad, Atul, Pardi, Vapi, and Sarigam, raising awareness about the ‘Plant A Smile’ campaign. The initiative aimed to spread awareness about environmental cleanliness, encourage tree planting, and inspire the community to stay joyful, physically and mentally healthy, and to engage in noble deeds. The closing ceremony of this mashal run was held at Laxmi Vidyapeeth in Sarigam with the participation of students and teachers from Vatsalyadham. Over 2,000 students joined in this event.
Special thanks were extended to Shri Chunibhai Gajera and Ms. Kinjalben Gajera, for their warm support in making this noble initiative of the *’Plant A Smile’* campaign by *Sunita’s MakerSpace* a success.
