A report from me being secretary of Leo Club of Bharatpur

Date: 25 ^th August, 2014

Venue: Saptagandaki Chowk

How: Leo Club of Bharatpur successfully accomplished the weeding program.  In L/Y 2013/14 Leo club of Bharatpur had planted 54 plants in that area along the sides of the road. However, only 49 of them survived and this year with a theme for their long term preservation and with motto to save them we have conducted this weeding , fertilizing and watering program. We see many other leo clubs too doing plantation program but it may be the first time we have conducted such program for long term preservation of the plants that we planted. If we don't have regular monitoring for such plants they cannot be successful and plantation may not be effective. Planting and leaving is not a big deal but taking care of the plants for preservation is a good deed. And we Leo Club of Bharatpur have successfully maintained those 49 plants. It's a sad part that 5 plants could not survive but we are happy that we have been able to maintain those 49 plants healthy and we hope this plants will help to maintain utmost greenery. This program was assisted to us by Saptagandaki Area Committee and Narayani High School ( Junior Red Cross Circle and Children  Echo Club) .  Program was conducted under chairmanship of Club President Leo Santosh Majakoti and hosted by Secretary Leo Bikal Ghimire where as the program coordinator was Leo Ritu Regmi. We have been coordinating with the very organization - Saptagandaki Area Committee and Narayani High School ( Junior Red Cross Circle and Children  Echo Club) to make this program sustainable and participatory in the days to come.

Beneficiary: Natural Greenery and plant preservation have been beneficial to all the people around and eco saystem.
