After the successful Tree Planting mission of Un Pont Caraga (OWWA-Microsoft Tulay Program Alumni Club), I can't help but ask "How many of the two hundred would grow tall and strong years from now?"---oOo---
Mission Accomplished ....
"UN PONT CARAGA GOES GREEN!" is the 1st Tree Planting Mission of Un Pont Caraga, the OWWA-Microsoft Tulay Alumni Club in Caraga Region, in coordination with Butuan City ENRO & OWWA-Caraga, conducted on July 16, 2011 at Villa Kanangga, Butuan City along Macapagal Bridge.
The alumni, consisting of 25 volunteers, were able to plant 200 African Tulips seedlings. Years from now, and by God's blessings, those trees will bloom and grace the highway and give weary passers-by the comfort of fresh air and cool shade.
The activity was truly a success. Next challenge? Tree Nurturing!!!!

I think that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A Tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
