Solution

A-303, Suryodaya Society,
Greenfield Road,
Andheri (West),
Mumbai – 400 056

Dear Archana,

I hope you are in the pink of health. I assume that you are aware of the various calamities that the world is facing.

It is sad to know that we humans are the root cause of the poor condition of our planet. It is all our doing that is now costing us dearly. With time, we have realised what we have done and now it is high time that we did something about it.

I request you to do your part as a responsible citizen of this country, more so as a responsible being of this planet. Collect information about the campaigns, drives, and programs that have been undertaken by your school or locality. Become a volunteer for the ones that you are interested in and would like to work for. By doing so, you will make me proud. Also, it will be a small step towards the betterment of mankind.

I hope to see you next week when you return home for the holidays. Take care.

Your loving sister,
Sanjivani
