Each of us always think of taking that small step to do something great, to step out of our comfort zones and create more meaning to the things we do. Haribon Foundation, a non-government organization is doing just that. It aims to "protect nature and preserve life" by encouraging people to participate in their activities.
Haribon recently held a Tree Planting Activity at Baras Communal Forest as part of their Road to 2020 movement. It was such a pleasant experience to be a part of something that will surely bear fruit literally and figuratively.
I woke up at 5:00 am for the tree planting and took public transport service to Baras' New Municipal Hall. The weather was damp, my friend woke up late and I had to travel alone. I arrived at the meeting place an hour after the call time and was seriously thinking of turning my back towards the comfort of home. It wasn't really my day.
I was already thinking of heading home when I met the The Pinoy Volunteers' Group who were also at Baras' New Municipal Hall for Haribon's Tree Planting Activity. My friend not showing up turned out to be a blessing as it led me to meet these kind individuals with whom I look forward to spending more of my volunteer weekends.
