मक्वान्पुर्घदी प्लन्ततिओन 2

For the Makwanpur plantation, first we have to go select the trees. So, direction the Forestry department of Hetauda, where we select local trees. The local authorities will donate half the trees, and our organization will pay for the rest.



Now that we have the trees, the students and the location, it's time for some planting action!
Let's go with Kiran!



A little planning goes a long way. Each tree will go to a specific spot, as to make the best design possible for the future generations.



Planting is fun! Everybody is having a great time. A day with friends enjoying the outdoors under a sunny blue sky. This is happiness guaranteed:)

हेतौदा plantation

On september 21, UPF went to Hetauda for a plantation in Makwanpurghadi.
Hetauda is located 5 hours South of Kathmandu. After a jeep ride, 300 ruppee each, Kiran, Bikas and Manue arrive in Hetauda.
Follow Manue for a special plantation week end!



A double rainbow welcome us to Makawnpurghadi, an old fort on top of a hill.



In front of the Krihsna temple, Kiran speaks with the 20 students that came for the plantation.



Everyone listens with interest, as Kiran explains about why it is good to plant new trees.
