Hello everyone! Greetings from CEL!

Here we are we some updates with a new plantation in the community through the initiative called ‘Trees for India’. Through this program, we aim to do plantations in the local community while these plantations are sponsored by others.

The idea is to do specially, fruit plantations, from which the families or schools can benefit.

For instance, our last plantation was this week, in a family house of 7 members.

There, we planted amla tree – highly used for pickle making and treatment of digestive problems, constipation or blood purification; fig tree – important for its laxative properties, vitamin content and sugars; jam tree – which contains loads of protein and fibre. This shows how we always try to search for highly nutritious fruit plants for the families.

We also planted 5 jasmine plants from which, hopefully, many jasmine flowers will come out and the family can sell them in the market and have some extra income for their house.

We have to thank Greta, Eli and Florentine, from Germany, for their donation for the amla tree and Liv and Georgia, also from Germany, for their donation for the fig and jam trees. We do not forget to thank Rohan Sir, from India, for his donation towards the plantation of the jasmine plants for the family.

As you know, this is a way of fundraising for our self-funded projects and the money collected will help us to develop more.

It was hot and tiring while we were doing the plantation but lovely at the same time, since the family hosted and treated us really nicely. This initiative helps us also to build a more positive with the community we have around.

We will come back with more updates soon!
