Mission “Healthy Roots”
Appeal for Support: Continuing Our Mission for Child Health, Nutrition & Education
Dear friends and supporters,
For several years, Nature’s Observer (CB) has been committed to bringing meaningful, value-based education to children across Guwahati and the Kamrup district of Assam. Recently, we successfully completed four-day educational programs in each school we visited, covering environmental awareness, nutrition, hygiene, sustainability, and physical fitness.
The response from students was full of excitement and hope. However, our visits also highlighted a harsh truth: many children lack the basic tools and essentials needed for learning and healthy living.
To continue and expand our work, we humbly seek your support.

Why Your Support Is Needed Now
During our recent four-day programs, we found that many students cannot fully participate because they lack basic school supplies, proper clothing, and even access to nutritious food at home.
To continue supporting these children and their families, we request donations in the form of:
Essential Items Needed
- Notebooks
- Geometry boxes
- Pencils, erasers, sharpeners
- General school stationery
- Nutritious food items (protein mix, biscuits, eggs, fruits, dry foods, healthy snacks)
- Clothes for children (school uniforms, casual wear, winter wear, socks)
- Basic hygiene items (soaps, toothbrushes, sanitary products)
Your contributions will help provide children with both the tools to learn and the essentials to live healthier lives.
How You Can Support
- Donate school supplies, clothing, or nutrition-based food items
- Offer financial support to help us procure these essentials
- Share this appeal within your networks
- Volunteer with us during school programs or distribution drives
Together, we can empower children to learn, grow, and stay healthy.
