Tewa has been doing the Tree Plantation
since 2011 as a means to conserve the environment, educate and fundraise
locally from the community. Additionally, this event has been designed
to follow Tewa's own principles of involving and building local ownership of communities
which helps towards making the city
greener and healthier place to live in and improved the environment for the
community. This year it was conducted on 13th August, 2016 at Debichaur,
Lalitpur one of the areas affected by earthquake and wildfires.
Debichaur is a
remote part of Lalitpur where there is no local transportation available with only
minimum basic amenities available. The program was conducted successfully planting 600 saplings in Debichaur, Lalitpur
where our grantee partner Sarangi Dada coordinated. There was huge
participation from staffs, locals,
volunteers, school children of Ribs Higher Secondary School, Tewa President Dr
Nirmala K.C, and Board Member Sheetal Bajracharya along with Forestry
Commission Secretary Pashupati Dahal which added value to the event. We were
able to raise NRs 153540.00 from the event.
This
represents an exemplary message to convey to children, friends and community to
help them understand the value and importance of Community Philanthropy and a
greener world.
