Thank You Green Warriors!!
Annual events... or should I say, 'Celebrations' like this is always special and leaves everlasting , beautiful memories... This Green Day was no exception and it brought back fond memories from previous green day events/ locations...
Friends,
On behalf of CTC Ainthinai, we thank all the volunteers and the singa kutties for the selfless efforts... We (CTC Ainthinai) seem to have some 'Punarjenma' connection to Walajabad, as all our green day locations so far have been around Walajabad :-)... Its been a busy week, with lots of pre event works in preparation for the Green Day - Digging pits, sorting out other logistics like transport, breakfast, tools, manure, mulching material, calling up participants, coordinating transport, etc... And, you were all geared up and ready , pitching in left, right and center for the pre event work too - It wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Come the D day, it looks like rain was so eager, that it decided to pay a visit to the spot before the Green day... And, we only feel blessed that it did... Yes, the wet convictions made it a little challenging with all the pits filled in with water... But, CTC volunteers na chummava... Gethuda... Neruppuda... Nothing could have stopped us - You all cared little about the thorns, no one cared about the repeated falls instead enjoying it ...Be it, teams competing and having kiddish fights, Kids giving gyan on why we plant trees and making fun of some 'uncles' ,it was non stop fun.. It was a perfect ending that the last 'sapling' for the day was planted by a 'kid'...In all, we planted 806 Saplings and 300 Palm Seeds, 500+ Pungai Seeds.. 'Mass' effort... Hats off to you all... Take a bow.
I hope all these saplings and the kids stay healthy and grow well together. Saplings are like these kids... They need to be nurtured during the initial days, until they are ready to be on their own... Watch out for regular camping/ maintenance events at the green day location... Lot more fun awaited. If you doubt the fun part, rewind to the mud bath many of us had :-).
Core Team and volunteers had spent many days on the preparation works of Green Day. It's our pleasure to highlight few of them. Once the location was identified, few volunteers had visited the spot and got involved in marking the pits for saplings. Various aspects have been taken into consideration while marking the pits. We would like to thank Vignesh Mailappan, Dilly Babu,Prabhakaran, Prabha G, Yogi, Raghuram, Thanabalan, Rajesh, Rashmi, Bharat, Deepak and few others for spending their weekends/weekdays and ensuring the pits preparation.
As we targeted to plant 1000+ Grown up Saplings with 200+ Volunteers involved, lot of prework had to be executed couple of days prior to the event. Bunch of our hard core volunteers were always ready and took care of these pre event works. We would like to thank Sudhakar, Gohul, Hari, Mahesh, Naan SP, Sathya, Rajesh, Yogi, Rashmi,
When the volunteers were putting their tremendous effort on planting the saplings, it was very very important to keep the volunteers energetic - Who else to thank, but the team leads who kept the energy levels of their teams high and executed the plans well.. Thank you guys.

Saplings might not have needed its food (water) on the green day due to rain, but we definitely needed soru...We would like to thank the Food Committee , headed by Vinoth Sankaran and his team members Arun Prasath, Sai Karthik for taking care of the most important department for the day :-).
