Changes

Throughout the last 2 years the children had been studying elements of Environmental Science. This culminated in a trip to Adyar Poonga, an eco-park in Chennai which is the result of the restoration of the vegetation of the freshwater eco-systems of the Adyar River and estuary. This was a very uplifting experience. The students saw that with attention and hard work even areas which had been made into ecological disasters could be restored. <ref>http://wiki.auroville.org.in/wiki/SAIIER_2013:Transition_School</ref> (under Farms, forests and gardens)
