Poona Blind Girls' School happily joined hands with Art of Living Pune volunteers when Priyanka Kulkarni a young volunteer from Pune approached the school principal Mrs. Sulbha Pujari. An Experience Sharing by Priyanka Kulkarni "The blind School had more than 2 acres of land which is covered by Subabul & weeds which they wanted to clear out. So we planned a drive of planting about 250

    19. saplings by clearing this land. The challenge was to get the weeds and subabul trees cleared. Some volunteers started clearing grass/weeds and digging pits a day before.

    20. The Manager of Cosmos bank branch in the school premises, Mrs. Sumant offered spontaneous donations for getting the laborors to do grass cutting for such a huge area. On 31st of August this drive started where about 15 volunteers of AOL actually started digging pits for plantation. The Art Excel brats joined their hands with this team and actually adopted the plants by giving them a name and the family name.

    21. The highlight of the event was plantation by blind girls and their superfast work for clearing out the grass in the plantation area. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm towards plantation activities. AOL volunteers and these girls together did a brilliant job by planting about 41 saplings of Lakshmi Taru and some local species. This drive will continue over weekends till we cover the land provided the the blind school."

I met Mr. Vishnoi who is the Chief Conservator of Social forestry and had a detailed

    24. discussion about Mission Green Earth. He is a very proactive and supportive officer. When I told him that I have taken a sankalpa of planting 5 lakh trees in Assam, he immediately agreed and promised to provide 5lakh saplings from the Govt. for the programme.His foremost concern was survival and sustainability of plantations to be done. Yes YES club in Guwahati makes a beginning by planting 300 trees (An Adventurous trip):

    25. Under the initiative of Savita, yes club of Guwahati, Bhanu from Guwahati ashram and many other AOL members planted more than three hundred trees forest land guwahati zoo. Guava, amla, jack fruit, arjun and other local species of Assam has been planted.

    26. On the plantation day they had walk for about 2kms through the jungle on a very slippery hilly terrain as it rained heavily throughout the morning. It was remarkable to see every body's enthusiasm inspite of the bad weather and tough terrain. Everyone was in an adventurous mood and fully out to do seva."
