Monsoon Wooding undertook it's second successful distribution drive at Janpath on 26th June.
We had close to 15 volunteers participating in the event. The response was good and we were able to distribute about 100 saplings of putranjiva to raise money for the campaign.
Another NGO, Bitter Chocolate also participated in the distribution drive and has agreed to lend help to the Monsoon Wooding campaign.
The success of the event has bolstered our confidence and we're really looking forward towards planning and executing future events.
After the success of the first Distribution Drive at Khan Market, Monsoon Wooding is all set to host another such event.
We'll distribute saplings in order to create awareness and raise money for subsequent events.

Hope to see you there!
Monsoon Wooding 2009 successfully kicked off with a Sapling Distribution Drive at Khan Market on June 11, 2009. Before the drive the volunteers gathered together for a short brainstorming session.
Despite the Heat, around 30 volunteers gathered to distribute close to 150 saplings of Putranjiva or the Lucky Bean Tree to raise money for subsequent events. Most importantly we got to talk to a large number of people about the campaign.
It turned to be an excellent event with a lot of support from the volunteers and was the perfect beginning to Monsoon Wooding-09.
After the success of the Distribution Drive, the Wooders gathered at the Ashoka Park in New Friends Colony at 6 o' clock in the morning for this year's first plantation drive. It wasn't easy to dig pits and plant trees, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.
It was hearting to see the response we got from local residents who came in large numbers to support the event. In less than 3 hours we successfully planted 50 saplings of Gulmohur and Alestonia. The RWA of New Friends Colony is very supportive of our campaign and have ensured us that they would take care of the trees post the plantation.
The Work is not over though, this city needs a lot more greens. Please call us or email us to let us know if your locality, school or college can take in a few new saplings. We also need as many volunteers as possible, do join the Wooders in our future events and Drives.
The campaign plans to get bigger and better this year with aim to plant atleast 5,000 trees in Delhi!
We are kick starting the campaign this year with a Distribution Drive and a Plantation this week.
The details are as follows:
