East-west Highway Cleaning Campaign

The students and lecturers of Sherubtse College are conducting a major cleaning campaign along the Trashigang – Thimphu highway from 1^st to 9^th July, 2007. The campaign, which is divided into two sections i.e. from Trashigang to Bumthang and Bumthang to Thimphu, is carried out simultaneously by the Social Service Unit (SSU) and Singye Karm Nature Club of the college. The program is accompanied by education programs on waste management for the residents, communities and towns en-route. The activity is part of the Clean Bhutan Project initiated by Royal Society for Protection of Nature in collaboration with other relevant stakeholders.  

The program schedules are as follows:  

Group A (Social Service Unit). Trashigang to Bumthang

 
Group B (Singye Karm): Bumthang to Thimphu

 
The campaign is a prelude to the Clean Bhutan campaign which will be initiated by RSPN with relevant stakeholders before 2008.  RSPN will be receiving the Sherubtseans at the Clock Tower on 9^th July. As a mark of solidarity, the organization will conduct a cleaning campaign in Thimphu on the same day depending upon the response and support from our members and the general public.  

All the interested individuals aspiring to participate are requested to register with RSPN personally or through our website.
