Save Scrap & Sew buddies work in teams and contribute for two hours, once a week. Any person who has one more person to work with — can start a team.
Age & gender are not a barrier here. People of all ages & genders are welcome. All buddies who want to save the landfill and help the deserving are welcome.
Guidance and guidelines are provided by Dr. Shambavi & other mentors.
Our Teen Buddy program comprises over 100+ buddies who have learned how to sort, iron, cut, and sew over seven sessions of two hours each. All activities and learnings are documented with photos & videos, along with written journals.
Before the end of their program, they also share their SSS journey with their parents. Teamwork, patience & a new respect for the environment are added benefits teen buddies accrue.
