CONNECT with NATURE
Aim:
• To promote, raise awareness and encourage people to connect with nature because it benefits both the mental health and physical well-being. You can do this wherever you are. But you don’t have to walk and drive miles and miles to do this most especially at this time of the pandemic. You can do this in your home or in your garden.
