Tawan’s school organizes a monthly cleanup event at a local park near his neighborhood in Bangkok. On Saturday morning, Tawan and his classmates arrived early, armed with gloves and trash bags. Their teacher, Miss Ratchanee, explained that picking up litter helps protect wildlife and keeps the park beautiful for everyone.

While some students collected plastic bottles and food wrappers, others focused on sorting recyclable materials. Tawan teamed up with his friend, Anon, who showed him how to separate paper, plastic, and metal into different bins. After an hour of cleaning, they took a short break under a big tree. Miss Ratchanee provided water and snacks to keep everyone energized.

Suddenly, Tawan noticed a stray cat wandering near the bushes. Worried it might be hungry, he shared a few bites of his snack with it. The cat purred and stayed close to the students, seeming grateful for the attention. By midday, Tawan and his friends had filled dozens of trash bags.

Before going home, the class posed for a group photo with the park staff. Tawan felt proud of their teamwork. Though the day was hot and tiring, he realized that small actions, like picking up litter, could make a big difference in keeping Thailand’s parks clean and safe.
