Plant a tree: save earth & lives

Respected Donor,

Warm greetings from CHHASE.

Thank you for your generous contributions for the tree planting program through esteemed organization GlobalGiving.

Your support enabled us to plant more trees in schools and as well as in waste lands. We have planted 1,69,000 saplings So far. Our free distribution of saplings are around forty one thousand to school children to plant at their homes, safe guard and grow. This practice will create a habit of planting more trees in their future. Even if each one, plant one tree annually, it will create a big impact on global warming.

Why we should plant trees?

Trees help to reduce ozone levels in urban areas. Most importantly, trees sequester carbon, helping to remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air, which cools the earth. In fact, a mature tree absorbs enough carbon and releases enough oxygen to sustain two human beings!

 Trees are like the lungs of the planet. They breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Additionally, they provide habitat for birds and other wildlife.

Trees create an ecosystem to provide habitat and food for birds and other animals.Trees absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, from the air and release oxygen. One large tree can supply a day's supply of oxygen for four people.

We are now experiencing the effects of global warming: Tsunami’s. Floods, cyclones and earth quakes often. It is a sign of deforestation, which we have created for our benefit. But nature is showing its effects by way natural calamities to compensate the change. Deforestation was done by us and a forestation also to be done by us to save the earth and lives.

Your support will ensure a safer world and better living conditions to our children and to our grand children.

We take this opportunity to give a big THANK YOU for the recurring donors who are already donating for this program!

We once again thank you for all you have done for this project, and looking forward for your continued support!

Respected donors, we welcome your valuable suggestions and feedback for this noble work. Please do provide your suggestions in the comment box to be more successful.

Respected Donor,

CHHASE and the beneficiaries wish you and your family "A HAPPY PONGAL " !! Pongal is mainly celebrated to convey appreciation to the Sun God for a successful harvest.

The harvest festival is celebrated over four days with each day having a different ritual. Here is how Pongal is celebrated in Tamil Nadu. The first day of Pongal is celebrated by paying respect to the rain gods who are responsible in ensuring a good crop year.

The Pongal festival, of all the festivals being celebrated throughout Tamil Nadu today by the Hindu population, has special significance for two reasons. First, it is the harvest festival of the Tamil state and the neighboring south Indian states. It is being celebrated from time immemorial; it is a thanks giving festival - the farmers thank the life-giving sun and their cattle; others thank the Mother Nature and the farmers for producing a bountiful crop and keeping us all alive. The festival is observed annually exactly on the same day (first day of the month of Thai - co-eval with the 14th or the 15th of January of the western Gregarian Calendar. The Tamils follow the solar calendar. Originally, Tamil New Year Day was celebrated on the Pongal Day and not on the first day of the month of Chithirai. This day was celebrated as the beginning of the ilavenil season ( the spring festival ).

As you may be aware of Recent GAJA cyclone, crores of trees uprooted. CHHASE feel, it is our duty to plant trees possible number of trees in the affected area. We are planning to plant 25000 plants in the next three months in Pudukottai and Nagappattinam districts of Tamil Nadu. 
Your support enabled us to plant more trees in schools and as well as in waste lands. So far, we have planted 1,44,000 saplings. Our free distribution of saplings are around forty one thousand to school children to plant at their homes, safe guard and grow. This practice will create a habit of planting more trees in their future. Even if each one, plant one tree annually, it will create a big impact on global warming.
