[MANNAM] It's a tree planting day!

 

What did you do on 5th of April?

Many of you might have spent normal day like it used to be.

However, it was a tree planting day!

In Korea, April 5th was used to be a red day, so that people can go planting trees.

Before we talk about this, do you know why the Korean gorvernment chose April 5th as a tree planting day?

  

During the domination, lots of trees in Korea were taken because it was a good resources. So, after the domination, Korea was lack of trees.

This is why Korean government decided to plant trees on a one special day.

So, on this day, many families went to nearest mountian and plant trees.

However, the government thought there were too many red days in Korea, so they changed tree planting day as a normal black day.

Although it changed to normal weekdays, people still go plant trees on that weekend.

So as MANNNAM Internatioal volunteer members too.

We also went to plant trees and saved environment.

     

When we think about benefits that we got from environment, we cannot pay them back as much as they gave us.

But, least, don't we have to think about them and share our love?

Because we live together in this world we should care about each other.

This is what I think.

As much as we use them we should plant more trees so that next generation can also live in the fresh air.

It takes 20s, 50s and also 100s of years for trees to grow.

Planting tree can be same as making your own friend who can be there, alway waiting for you.

Join us volunteering and how about make your own life friend?
