UNESCO CLUB
Paper
Mache Project
Rationale
Since papers contribute
a huge percentage to waste in school, the Paper Mache Project has taken its
form in order to help the school make a cleaner place. Thus, as projected, we
have decided to carry on with this interesting project. Through the project, we
aspire to collect waste paper and convert the same into beautiful craft. The
club would collect waste paper and prepare different face masks using the Paper
Mache art. Moreover for the sake of perfecting, we will use the masks to
perform a musical show.
