Eating local is a revolutionary zero waste act. It is the answer we seek for healthy people and healthy planet.

What do you call these foods in your language? Please type the names in the comments section.

We are blessed with a wide agroecological diversity in the Himalaya and celebrating these food cultures is key to our well-being.

The Himalayan Cleanup has consistently shown how we are eating more and more ultra processed and hyper packaged food and trash these problematic plastic immediately. More than 80% of plastic recovered in THC is from food and beverage packaging with over 70% of it none reclyable.

Eating local and unpackaged is to free ourselves from Big Food and the Himalayan waste crisis.

Celebrating local food cultures is celebrating biodiversity, the basis of life.

Parents workshops on Child Mental Health are being conducted in 81 partnering schools of TeaLeaf Mansik Swastha in Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong, and Gorubathan. The workshops cover topics such as, understanding a child's expression and experience of sadness, anxiety, and aggression, along with providing tools for parents to handle them with care. Additionally, the importance of parental mental health and its crucial role in child mental health care are also being discussed.
These workshops for parents and caregivers enhance our approach of shifting the responsibility of mental health delivery to teachers.

The 4Cs being:

Cause: Understanding the cause of the behavior
Change: implementing changes in the students' environment to encourage positive behavior
Connect: connecting, or forming an alliance with the students to encourage positive behavior
Cultivate: enacting rewards or limits in the moment for the students in an effort to cultivate the student's positive behavior.

Did you know 90% of your sanitary pad/napkin is made of PLASTIC ?

As we move ahead with the Maasika Mahotsav week reclaiming public spaces and having more conversations on sustainable menstrual practices we also talk about what’s in the sanitary pads that is most commonly used worldwide. The chemicals and plastic used in the sanitary pads which are marketed as “fragrant and convenient” are in reality harmful not just for a menstruator’s health but also our environment.

The Maasika Mahotsav this week also goes hand in hand with the Himalayan Clean Up. Henceforth we also look at menstrual practices from a waste perspective.

The above images are from conversations with Swachh Sayogis and Panchayat of Phademchen, Sikkim where we talked about sustainable menstruation and also visit their Material Recovery Facility (MRF). We were there thanks to the invitation of WWF

With new academic year new teachers get recruited in schools as well. In our quest of reaching out to as many individuals (children, teachers, caregivers, community members) we also aim to train as many teachers as possible on child mental health.

Hence, two batches of training on child mental health has been organised and started from 21st to 22nd April 2023 at Darjeeling and Gorubathan for teachers from our partner schools.

Engagement with parents or caregivers while working on child mental health is a priority for us.

The Tealeaf team has been conducting workshops on understanding children’s emotions and behaviour with parents and caregivers in all the Tealeaf partner schools.

As we widen our engagements we also aim to reach out to a larger community or Samaj in the near future.
