Plant a Hope 5.0 Phase 02 

 " Global Green", the second phase of the project “Plant a Hope” was completed as a tree planting campaign, and the main objective of the phase is to spread the awareness and to plant valuable trees for the environment. Sri Sudharmarama Maha Viharaya, Kaduwela and Viharamahadevi Child Development Centre, Kaduwela has been selected as the locations to conduct the tree planting program.

The plants which are beneficial to the society and the environment like Guava, Mango, Pawpaw, Orange, Mee plant and teak are the trees planted in selected places. 

And there were 150 variety of trees and the girls and the staff who are working in the child development center were asked to plant the trees we gave and to look after the plants for the rest of the time until they are harvested. After the plantation, the awareness session was held at Viharamahadevi Child Development Center mainly for the children. Mrs. Shamala Ruwanthi, who is the Environment Officer of the Environment Education Unit of the Central Environment Authority,  conducted the awareness session and she shared valuable thought with the participants. Not only that she gave instructions on how to care plants but also  advised to protect plants.

After planting the trees in the child development center in the morning, we moved to the temple that we selected to continue our plantation. There we planted 200 trees with the help of monks and the people who came to worship. 
Finally, the president of the child development center and the chief monk of the temple gave us a letter of appreciation for this noble cause.
