A seven-year-old Indian-origin schoolgirl has been awarded the British Prime Minister's Points of Light award. In fact, this student has been working for the United Nations initiative against microplastic pollution since the age of just three. According to the information, last week British Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden honored Moksha Roy with this award.
Moksha Roy has received this award as the world's youngest sustainability advocate. He got recognition for doing better work in many campaigns including raising money to help needy children.
Set an example by your work
British Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden said that Moksha has set a great example with her work advocating for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. He has fought for a long time to get these things a place in the school curriculum. Dowden said she has been in touch with world leaders to consider and encourage them.
Delighted to receive Points of Light Award
According to media reports, Moksha Roy also helped in academic sessions for underprivileged school children in India. On the other hand, Moksha expressed happiness and said that I am very happy to get the Points of Light award. I hope that children and adults will understand that taking care of this planet and its people and making a difference in everyone's life is not the job of just a few.
Moksha's parents expressed happiness
Moksha said that we brush our teeth to take care of them and avoid pain. In the same way we have to take care of this planet for others but for ourselves, to be safe. There are small things we can all do in our lives to combat climate change, pollution, poverty and inequality. Moksha's parents Ragini and Sourav Roy said that their daughter's effort proves that even small children in the society have a role to play in combating climate change.
