In the morning we went to Serenity Trust where we have seen different types of plants and the importance of small insects. It was the place where I have seen Loki sir for the first time. We had tree meditation where we talked to trees silently and it was so calm and peaceful. Honestly my mind became so stable and I felt so connected with nature. Loki sir talked about all the climate problems and gave some solutions that can be used instead of harmful things like fertilizer and pesticides.In the evening we went to the Atal bridge and the view from the top was so beautiful. We played Mosquito-Mosquito in the park and it was the day when nobody was feeling tired because of the energy of nature.
