We arranged a rendezvous of the village students with nature by taking them on a nature trail. First – hand experience of consciously being in nature and along with it helped develop empathy and oneness. Children were filled with gratitude for the generosity of nature and its bounties in the form of mighty mountains, babbling rivers, fluffy clouds, chirpy birds, lush greenery and the heaven of the open blue sky. Spending time in the lap of nature and having food under the canopy of their new friends, the trees, was one of the rare pleasures the children will cherish for a lifetime.
