Hello Workawayers!
We are a bunch of inspired people and we believe we can change the world!
We have multiple project going on. We need volunteers.
First I will give some explanation us.
Because of the rising fruit prices many low income families cannot afford to buy fruit.
Alot of these people only eat rice or potato, full with carbs but not nutritious. Currently 60 million children are malnourished in India (source UNICEF).
We think that everybody should have access to fruit and not just those who can afford it.
Fruit trees have a great effect on the biodiversity and attract a wide range of animals from insects to birds to mammals.
We have the goal of planting one million fruit trees this season in areas where they are needed most.
How are we going to do this?
Right now we are visiting schools and asking students to start collecting fruit seeds. At the school we are making seed banks where students can deposit their seeds. Right now 135 schools have established seedBanks and students already collected thousands of fruit seeds! We are very excited about our momentum!
Then these seeds will be brought to a nursery, this can be a nursery close to the school so students can become a tree guardian. If there is no place at the school the seeds will be brought to a nursery provided by the DFO (District forest officer). When you join you will help build fruit tree nurseries and go to schools to establish seedbanks.
When the fruit saplings are big enough to leave the nursery, usually after 6 months to one year depending on the type of fruit. The trees will be distributed and planted in public places where they are available to those in need.
We want to plant more trees then trees being cut.
We want to change the colour of the google map of India from grey to green.
