Hi, I am Purvi,
purvi Having worked with several Humanitarian and Environmental NGO's in India, I believe Climate change is a concern which requires priority for the existence of all beings. Immediate action, networking along with support from all individuals is required to keep from further destruction of our Planet and our existence. This journey for me is not only about educating but also learning from various NGO's, activists and individuals about their take on the Planet we live in.
