As India suffers the severe effects of the pandemic, we continue to support our mothers and their families in every way we can, both financially and emotionally. Living under the shadow of COVID19 has been traumatic for all our families. Their lives have been severely disrupted and the children who have not been attending school, have suffered many frightening changes to their lives. With a view to working towards a brighter future for all of our people, and to bring an important air of creative and constructive positivity to our younger family members, we have introduced a new project called Eco Protection Force.
Our aim with EPF is to create awareness among all our people, but particularly our children and the young people of Nandri, of how vital it is to protect and nourish nature. Their education and knowledge of the importance of us all caring for our part of the world, will help ensure that we are all doing our bit to see that this planet is a better place for the generations to come.
Joe, our Director in India, coordinating Eco Protection Forces’ first planting project.
The Prime Minister of India, Shri Modi, is working towards making India a more sustainable and greener country. He has spoken of the importance of our duty to care for the planet. “We the present generation have the responsibility to act as the trustees of our countrys’ rich natural wealth for the future generations.” Joe our Director agrees. He has said that he wants Nandri’s younger generation to become Eco Warriors, building a better world. “Our aim is to make our environment green and clean”.
Nandri children and mothers helping to Plant 1000 Palm seeds
Eco Protection Force’s first project was to plant 1000 palm seeds on the bank of the Lake in Indiravanam. Nandri families joined us in great numbers and were happy to be part of this important occasion. This will be the first of many projects that we will undertake, with the help and support of our children and their families.
The key to a greener planet is in our hands and Nandri is proud to be a part of this important work to make our world a better place. We look forward to seeing all the wonderful environmental projects that our young EPF volunteers will undertake. In the meantime, we continue to offer vital financial and food aid to those who need it during this very difficult time. We are so grateful to all our supporters who make our life changing work with our families possible. we cannot do it without you…. so a big NANDRI to you all.
