Dear Friends,

On March 6, our students brought seeds ,flowers and trees to school in the morning .After talking about the benefits of planting trees the students eagerly started planting.About 560 plants were planted ,some of them at school and some around the school. They loved it a lot and transfered it to their family and other friends. They also learned that planting a new tree or flower or seed means making a new life and it help to keep the environment eternity as well, and promised not to ruin any of the living things specially the plants.

ENO 2008 Tree Planting Campaign

- A MILLION NEEDS, A MILLION SEEDS, A MILLION DEEDS -

A NEW TREE PLANTING CAMPAIGN BY ENO PROGRAMME 2008

Schools can play a pivotal role in promoting environmental issues in their local communities. They can emphasize the importance of environmental protection and increase its awareness in the local communities. Children and youth are the ambassadors for the environment.

ENO Programme will plant a total of one million trees in 2008, focused on developing countries, especially those that suffer from desertification. Schools, children or youth groups are invited to join this campaign. Trees can be planted during the year and information after planting is asked to be submitted to the ENO Tree Database. In addition there will be two global ENO tree planting days in June and in September. You can see a list of some tree planting events here. Join these events, make your own event or inform us about tree planting event in your country! This campaign is a part of "Billion Tree Campaign" by UNEP.

To encourage participants and communities we have made a children's play about tree planting and co-operation called "The Drops Of Life". A global premiere took place 29th of May 2007, simultaneously in 65 countries around the world. With the play we also celebrate World Environment Day 2007. It will be performed again in the end of May 2008. And of course, we plant trees!

We want trees to be planted in every country in our planet. This campaign will not only be for environmental protection but for international collaboration and peace. We are also looking for individuals, companies and institutions who would sponsor this unique effort.

Make your pledge and join the global campaign!

Join this special activity at schools, clubs or as an individual. Make your pledge! After we have received the information about your event you will be rewarded with a certificate. Find more info on the campaign web pages: http://eno.joensuu.fi/campaigns/2008.htm

ENO Tree Planting in Portugal

Escola Ebi Vasco da Gama, PT04:

21 November, Our Tree Planting Day

Finally with pomp and circunstance we had our welcoming party to the new arrived trees for our school.
The party was very entusiastic with songs, dancing, speeches, written texts and visual effects.
There was a ceremony of commitment of each of the twenty classes/whose students acted as godparents of the trees/whose students supported the forces. These students agreed to take care and look after them from now on, watering and feeding them.
All this was possible due to the entusiasm of whole community and participants such as the Parc Expo, enterprises that offered the trees and Vibeiras, helped preparing the land.

We, students, teachers, enterprises and the President of the Parents'association are very happy and feel congratulated for this event and we thank ENO PROGRAMME the promotion of this kind of initiative.

ENO Tree Planting in Malta

St Benedict's College Ghaxaq Primary School:

" On the 13th November we went to Ta' Qali and took part in the Tree For You (3 4 U) campaign. When we arrived a gardener showed us the place and explained how many different trees are planted there. He taught us about the Maltese flora and fauna. Afterwards we had lunch and took part in a treasure hunt.
Time passed quickly. It was time to plant our trees. The Year 5 classes planted one tree each while the Year 6 classes planted two trees each. In all we planted six trees.
It was an unforgettable experience. Now I am looking forward to visit Ta' Qali Park again to see whether our trees have grown or not.
(Luke Schembri - Year 6)"

Tree Planting Day in Thailand

Yannawate Wittayakom School from Bangkok planted 40 trees (Sonneratia caseolaris Gaerth). Their comments:

"There were 33 students in grade 11 of Yannawate Wittakom School took a bus to Klonhkhon, Samutsongkram to get in to mangrove forest for tree planting. We planted 40 Sonneratia caseolaris Gaerth or 'Ton Lum Poon' as a Thai name. I thought it was different that we went to mangrove forest. We all thought that it was a really good idea to plant the trees to decrease the pollution in the air and reduce global climate change which is an issue that affected on everyone in the world. After we got back in Bangkok we have induced the project to our neighbors. We all respect in our self and everyone to planting trees to make the peaceful and our beautiful world."
