HOW TO PLANT A TREE ( FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE)
sometime ago, reforestIndia got a call from a few folks at enableIndia- an organization that trains the visually impaired to be "job ready". a group of 5 visually impaired people wished to volunteer to plant trees.
"how many trees do you wish to plant?" we asked.
(usually, the average response is 1 tree, 2 trees or maybe even 7 to 10 trees. no more.)
but these people had a greater vision.
"we want to plant 500 trees" they said.
"fine. would you like to start with 50 trees?"

Recently, I asked my son, Siddhartha, to miss school so he could learn how to make a lake. :)
We headed to the farm in our village.
We had to walk a lot to the fields and back.
On one such walk, Siddhartha saw a farm worker, about to carry three pipes all alone.
He asked me to ask the labourer, if he needed any help. I told Siddhartha to check himself.
So he quietly walked up to the man, lifted one end of the pipes, placed it on his head and walked all the way to where it was to be unloaded. (A little less than a kilometers maybe)
Every morning we have tender coconuts delivered home, which he opens and serves.
This morning, he did this:)
