Planting Trees Growing Futures: A Collaborative Drive at Aarey Forest 🌍
On 13th October 2024, the Gully Classes Foundation, in partnership with the Waghoba Habitat Foundation, organized a Tree Plantation Drive at the lush Aarey Forest. This initiative wasn’t just about planting trees; it was a step towards fostering sustainability, empowering local communities, and building connections across cultures.
A Productive Day with Global Volunteers 🌍
The event kicked off with an inspiring briefing by Sanjiv G., who provided valuable insights and instructions on the tree plantation process. His guidance set the tone for a day of impactful action and learning.
We were thrilled to welcome 30 dedicated volunteers, including international participants from Germany, Turkey, and Sri Lanka. Joining from Gully Classes Foundation were Abdul Munaf (Founder & Director), Hakim Shaikh, and Amaan Ansari, along with international volunteers: Max from Germany, Irem, Cagla, and one more volunteer from Turkey, and Sadhana from Sri Lanka. Their energy and enthusiasm brought a global perspective to our local initiative, showcasing the power of unity in driving meaningful change.
The Waghoba Habitat Foundation team, including Brian and other core members, played a crucial role in organizing and executing the drive. Their expertise and dedication ensured the plantation was a resounding success.
In just three hours, the team successfully planted 15 trees. These trees weren’t planted randomly; they were strategically placed on the lands of local farmers, ensuring long-term economic benefits for the community. 🌱🌾
Beyond Planting: Building Bonds 🌲
After a morning of hard work, the volunteers gathered at a local farmer's home to enjoy a well-deserved breakfast featuring the beloved local snack Vada Pav. 🥔🍞 This shared meal became a platform for cultural exchange, laughter, and storytelling.
A special highlight of the event was the presence of Sagar Singh @MrEarth, whose inspiring words and insights into sustainable practices enriched the experience for everyone involved. 🌟
