Trees are the hope of life

There is a rising interest on global environment which is suffering from environmental pollution and global warming. In keeping with this, the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation (hereinafter “WeLoveU”) is actively carrying out the worldwide “Clean World Movement.” The movement is an environmental cleanup campaign which its members are carrying out with one mind under the goal to conserve beautiful nature.

On December 5, 2010, the members from the WeLoveU Lima Branch in Peru held a tree planting campaign under the slogan, “Trees are the hope of life,” as part of the Clean World Movement. The campaign was carried out in the “Los Olivos De Pro” Park and the 220 WeLoveU members planted 100 trees.

From early in the morning, the members actively participated in the campaign, carrying shovels and hoes. They voluntarily prepared brooms and garbage bags to clean up nearby areas.

Mr. Freddy, who said that he had had no time to participate in volunteer activities because of his job, smiled brightly, saying, “I joined the tree planting campaign together with my wife and child. As we divided the work and cooperated with each other, we could finish it soon.”

A member named Melisa also said, “I planted each tree, with the heart of a mother. It is meaningful to plant 100 trees, but what is more important is to take care of those trees so that they can grow well.”

The members also received an enthusiastic response from the citizens and the officers of the Los Olivos District Office.

Richardson Armas Asmad, the District Representative of Los Olivos, Lima, Peru, expressed his gratitude, remarking, “We can have a bright future only when we love and conserve our environment. In that sense, I’m really grateful to the WeLoveU and Korea which encourage people to plant trees through this wonderful campaign.”

Maria Blanca, the officer of the Environment Division of Los Olivos District Office said that she was surprised at the high participation rate of the young members. She was full of admiration, saying, “In these days, young people are busy enjoying their favorite activities such as sports, but the young members of the WeLoveU volunteer for environment. It’s very impressive.”

The WeLoveU Peru Branch Manager said, “Now Peru is suffering from extensive environmental pollution because of the policies for economic growth in a short period of time. As the economic growth takes priority over the conservation of environment, the Peruvians have relatively small interest in the protection of environment. This is why the WeLoveU takes the lead in encouraging people to have interest in environment through this campaign.”

The WeLoveU Lima Branch of Peru planned to continually carry out the Clean World Movement and the nationwide blood drive in cooperation with all the branches in Peru.
