Celebrating Maya Janaki – A Voice for the Planet 🌍✨

We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate our very own Maya Janaki, who proudly brought home SECOND PLACE 🥈 in the Written Word (Individual) category at the prestigious Global Sustainability Competition organized by WAW Act (We Act World). 💚

This global competition is much more than just an academic challenge – it is a movement. Designed to create meaningful educational opportunities, it actively engages participants and gives them hands-on experience in tackling today’s most pressing environmental challenges. WAW Act emphasizes that every individual on our planet 🌎 has a part to play in building a sustainable future, and Maya truly rose to the occasion.

Her powerful, three-part poem titled “EarthArche” gives a voice to Mother Nature herself 🌱. One striking verse reads:

“Pitter, patter, puddles of her tears.

Thunderstorms roaring loud,

She weeps for who she once was

Long before we carved into her skin.”

Through words like these, Maya captures the pain of soil erosion, deforestation, and human neglect, reminding us that our planet is crying out for care. Her imagery is both haunting and hopeful, compelling readers to think deeply about their relationship with the Earth and inspiring them to take action.

What makes this achievement even more special is the ripple effect her work has created. Teachers, peers, and even competition judges were deeply moved by the urgency of her message. Within our school community, Maya’s writing has sparked thoughtful discussions on climate change, sustainable living, and how we can all do our part to heal the Earth.

👏 Let’s all applaud Maya not just for this outstanding recognition, but for using her creative gift as a tool for advocacy and change. She reminds us that young people are not merely the leaders of tomorrow – they are the changemakers of today. 🌏💚

Congratulations, Maya! You have made your school incredibly proud, and your words will continue to inspire others to protect the planet we all call home.
