40 Years- A Ruby Jubilee is not celebrated too often. However, Seva Kendra is celebrating it this year with much joy and aplomb!
One of the activities of the Ruby Jubilee is to plant saplings- 40,000 in number!
As Theodore Roosevelt had once said, "To exist as a nation, to prosper as a state, and to live as a people, we must have trees". Trees play their part in building a community that is healthy and whole by reducing the ill-effects caused by unbridled mushrooming of industries in the name of economic growth and development.
The depletion of the ozone layer, acid rain and indiscriminate harm to bio-diversity and the ecosystem can partially be prevented by planting trees.
"Planting of trees" is an expression of one's understanding of a deeper connection with nature and thus shows the love and concern of man for his environment. Thomas Fuller says, "He that plants trees loves others besides himself".
It is precisely with this "love for others" that Seva Kendra Calcutta has launched the project of "greening the earth".
Come let us live for Mother Earth- Join us in this exciting endeavour.
You can sponsor a sapling by contributing Rs. 100/- Cheque may kindly be drawn in the name of "SKC Ruby Jubilee" and sent to the Director, Seva Kendra Calcutta, 52B, Radhanath Chowdhury Road, Kolkata - 700 015, India.
With your support and encouragement, today's 40,000 saplings can become tomorrows 400,000 trees! The number will surely multiply- All it needs is YOU!
