Survivors


As I remember exactly two years back my dear comrade ALAYA (a.k.a. Asela) , wanted me to come to the university since they were digging holes to plant trees. That evening I could not attend that event. But next day I managed to attend the “Tree Planting Ceremony”, which was launched with the best wishes from the staff members.

The whole gathering was planting trees, and the plants were kept near the New Building. So we had to borrow the garbage cart to transport plants to the respective holes. We had an enjoyable time pushing the cart. One group was planting while

the others were watering and a considerable amount of plants were planted.

But after that day, these plants were on their own, striving to survive. These

plants had to undergo many hardships like lack of water, the blinding glare of the sun, and the Grass cutters carelessness and his poor grass cutting skills. However some of them survived.

So we thought, you folks would be interested in observing the progress and the growth of the survivors.

I make this an opportunity to thank all the passed out Nature Team Akkas & Ayyas for what they have done to make these trees what they are now.

If you happen to come to the university in 10, 15 years, you would proudly gawk at a survivor and say, “Hey I was there when you were planted
