Day 4 - Art of Living - Mission Green Earth Tree planting

There is a saying “it’s not what you do when everything is going well and easy, rather what you do when everything going wrong, hard and tough”.
   
Last Day of Spring 2013 tree planting June 1st 2013 - Hard, tough and everything went wrong:
  • Last minute changes in location of tree planting, it took long time to get all volunteers to the location  
  • Weather was muggy, hot and humid - felt like more than 30C, very tiring 
  • Hard, rocky and dry Soil to dig.   
  • Planting area had full of grown grass and weeds up to your waist. 
  • Not many volunteers came to the event

We did it and completed all 215 trees.

I admire the commitment and discipline from those who stayed back till the end with all these challenges.

It’s a great inspiration.  

We've completed 5 year continuous, back to back tree planting with over 6200 trees.

Simply One Amazing Enthusiastic Team!!!
