On Gandhi Jayanti, a special day celebrating Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, 157 children will plant and care for 157 fruit trees! This is a wonderful way to remember Gandhi and help the environment at the same time.
Each child will get to plant their own fruit tree and watch it grow. They will learn how to nurture and care for the trees so they become healthy and strong. Over time, these trees will produce fruits that can feed people in their community.
Planting trees is important because they give us oxygen, clean our air, and provide food and shade. When children plant trees, they become part of this important work. This activity teaches them about nature and shows how one person’s actions can make a big difference in making our world greener and healthier!
