Rene Dubos once said, “Man shapes himself through decision that shapes his environment.” We, at Rotary Club of Panvel Elite decided to shape the environment by celebrating the charter day through a tree plantation project nearby Vaksai Village. Rotary is meant to serve humanity and nature. One way to do so is by planting trees which would yield shadow, fruits and food in months and years to come. We planted trees of different types of right from Banyan tree where the ladies residing in areas nearby village can perform pooja and offer prayers to trees of different fruits and flowers which would help the villagers in near future. This project also gave the club the opportunity to teach kids importance of tree plantation as Annete Yash Munot and Annete Aryaman Patil were taught how to plant trees in the supervision of their parent Rotarians. This, in true sense, helped us inculcate the values of Rotary into young ones who could possibly grow up to be future Rotarians.
