TREE PLANTATION CAMPAIGN: PLANT A TREE AND SAVE A LIFE.


A Tree Plantation Campaign was held by Bhumi one of India’s largest independent and youth volunteer non-profit organisations, on the occasion of “Earth Day” on 21st April,2019 at Bosco Boys Home, (BBH), Borivali. An active participation of 23 Volunteers from Bhumi together with over 30 children from grade V to VIII, from BBH took part in this activity.
Before commencing with the planting, the Volunteers ensured that the kids were well aware of the process of plantation and importance of the Earth day to be celebrated on 22th of April. There were around 65 saplings of different types like neem, mango, tomato, chillies, coconut etc. planted by the boys with the help of the Volunteers.
“Different teams of volunteers and children took up various activities like shoveling and digging, getting the sapling out of their bags, placing it in the pit and then watering the plant. The kids knew just how tenderly to handle the delicate flower plants. Throughout the campaign the kids were supervised by the volunteers. The main aim of this drive was to spread awareness about the importance of trees and how it helps in restoring the balance of the nature. One additional effort taken by the volunteers after the activity was making every 2 kids choose their favourite plant and ensure that they take a complete responsibility for it, nurture it till it grows.” shared Sanket Mendon, one of the volunteer and  the coordinator of the event.
“Great thanks to Bhumi for making the boys know that to plant a tree means to save a life. The campaign “Save Tree Save Earth” was a success as each student and volunteer contributed profoundly for this day.” Expressed Dn. Romero D’Souza while congratulating the volunteers for their beautiful initiative.
After the planting, the volunteer organized an hour of animated games for the boys which ended with a dance session. Prince Chawda, a 5th standard boy said, “Trees give us oxygen to breathe and shade to sit and relax. I planted four samplings and I promise to water them regularly.”
