Almost on all good days we start the day with family prayers & go for a walk as we are a kilometre away from beautiful elliots beach, then we go with our kids school Schedule. After this we look forward on dedicated time for our organisation which extends through the day. Recently Our organisation recognised for Carbon Certifying Body with NCCF(Network for Certification and Conservation of Forests)
