The Sapling Song!


PRESENTING… THE SAPLING SONG!!!

Planted a sapling? Paani diya kya? (Did you water it?)

Read what a sapling has to say! Thanks to Dollyy A Kataaria for this...

I am a little bundle of joy
Forget me not like an old toy
One beautiful sight; I reside
My friend planted me here and hugged me tight!
I tell yummy soil and sunny light
I won't stay this little alright
For sands of time run
All of us together have fun!
Before you will even know;
My friend waters me to grow!
I dream to grow so big like a big green tree
Just like that big one there you see

But, I am ONLY a little bundle of joy
IF you forget me like an old toy
What do I do of beautiful sight?
I miss that day when you hugged me tight!
But my thirst is rising with sunlight
Difficult to stay alright!
Today sands of time run
Looking at me make fun
Before you will even know
Thirst can let me go
My friend quickly you come...
Time and tide waits for none
Thank you for coming dear!
I was today living before in fear!

I am a little BIGGER bundle of joy
My friend remembers me more than his favourite toy
One beautiful sight I reside
With timeless love, care and hugs always tight!
Didn't I tell you yummy soil and sunny light;
I won't stay little alright
For sands of time run
Growing up is such fun!
Before you will even know
My friend waters me to grow!
Soon I shall grow big enough
If I give you idea in rough
I favour back my friend in need
Will give fresh air and shade indeed!

Plantation is not merely about plantation of a sapling. It's also about nurturing the little one by regular watering and maintenance until it becomes self-sustainable. It's not a one-day affair. It's a fairly long term commitment, it's a relationship!

So, next time you go for a plantation drive, let that not be merely for an Instagram pic. Please water the sapling regularly so that the effort is really useful.

2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week 04

🌳 100 AMALTAS SAPLINGS PLANTED!!! 🌳 We are pleased to share that with the help of around 50+ volunteers - including kids from the nearby areas, college students and working adults - we have hit yet another century today. 🌳 We planted 100 amaltas saplings within a matter of two hours, although there was some interruption due to rains. 🌳 We have focused only on amaltas in this park because this area is frequented by goats. Goats don't feed on amaltas. 🌳 We could have planted more saplings but we were out of the scope of pits here. Our volunteers will visit the park mid-week and try to seek the DDA's assistance in removing weeds. Post that we'll see if we can plant any more saplings here. 🌳 Our total saplings count this monsoon season has hit 500! Yes, if you've been following our page, we had planted total 370 till last week, today's 100 and there's another set of ~30 saplings reported by other set of volunteers that they planted.

Embracing Nature's Gift: A Memorable Meetup and Thriving Saplings

In our tireless efforts to protect and nurture the environment, our dedicated volunteer group recently organized a meetup in Dwarka, with the primary goal of watering the saplings we had previously planted. However, the previous day had been graced by an abundant rainfall, leaving our saplings sufficiently quenched and eliminating the need for additional watering. This unexpected gift from nature served as a testament to the interconnectedness we share with the environment. It reminded us that our efforts, combined with nature's benevolence, can create a thriving ecosystem. Despite the helping hand from the rain Gods, we decided to proceed with the meetup, understanding the importance of maintaining social connections and strengthening our bond as a volunteer community. It was heartwarming to meet two new volunteers who had traveled all the way from Gurugram to join us. The highlight of the meetup was undoubtedly witnessing the remarkable growth of our saplings. As we surveyed the ...

Door-to-Door Awareness on Waste Segregation, Sarita Vihar

AND IT CONTINUES... Remember our ongoing waste segregation awareness campaign at Sarita Vihar? Our volunteers continued the efforts last weekend as well. This time we covered 150+ houses and that too, within just three hours. It was exciting to receive immense positive response from residents. Some of them are even segregating their waste effectively! Along with a few more residents, we also sensitized the waste pickers to bring two collection bags - one for dry waste and one for wet waste. The locals have started taking actions. But we can’t do it alone. Need your support as well. Join us in our efforts and help us providing solution to Delhi’s garbage crisis. Visit http://wmtc.org.in
