Global Day of Biodiversity

ENO club of organization SIQA – Georgian Association of Educational Initiatives - Georgia, Rustavi, has joined the day of Global Biodiversity and world-wide tree planting activity related to this day. Members of our club with the help of other volunteers of the organization have put into the ground 15 new plants, in the yard of Rustavi city Children care center. About 20 lonely children were involved in the activity and the day has become one of the happiest ones in their lives. After tree planting activity a little training was held for Care center children about ecology and global ecological problems. This way we tried to improve their eco awareness and create bases of love and need to take care of the nature in their minds.
