As with most things today, our project to enlist schoolchildren in the fight against global warming has been put on hold until the current emergency has passed. But we remain committed to helping children learn how to plant and nurture as a way to cool both their immediate environment and the planet, and look forward to resuming our efforts as soon as we can.
Meanwhile, we are scrambling to provide emergency food and supplies to the thousands of families who no longer have the income that jobs as daily wage workers, street vendors and migrant workers used to provide. We have been offering a mid-day meal to groups in need that some of the children told us was all they would have to eat that day.
We are grateful for your past support and are hoping trees that the trees you helped the children plant will have managed to survive without regular nurturing during the crisis. Although I realize that some of you have yourselves been coping with a drastic loss of income, if you are able to make an additional donation to help make sure that the schoolchildren are adequately fed during this time, you can donate to provide food, funds & support for India's COVID-19 victims .
Wishing you strength and safety during this difficult time --
Janet Preethi
