Children listen carefully to the instructions before tree planting 开始种树前，大小朋友们认真聆听讲解和指导
Despite the burning sun, the kids, together with their parents, worked hard in transporting seedlings, measuring planting space, digging holes, planting and irrigating trees. Even though it was all very new to them, they tried their best and did a good job. The parents said that, “children who live in big cities rarely have opportunities to see deserts, let alone planting trees in a windy, dry and dusty environment. Adventures like this can not only raise children’s environmental awareness, but also teach them to be grateful and conserve the environment they live in.”
小朋友与父母一起，顶着烈日，搬运树苗，拉线测距，握锹挖坑，插苗浇水，虽然动作略显稚嫩，但专注认真，全情投入。家长们纷纷表示：“生活在都市的孩子少有机会进入荒漠，更别说在风大、缺水、黄沙漫天的环境下植树。这样的经历不仅帮助孩子们提高保护自然环境的环保意识，更让他们学会感恩和珍惜。”

Working hard on desertified land 挥汗如雨的植树场景
This is the second year of OJI planting with Shanghai Roots & Shoots’ Million Tree Project and the fourth year of OJI’s tree planting program. Under the guidance and with the support from Roots & Shoots, the OJI team did a wonderful job. Their passion and enthusiasm inspired the tour guide and driver who joined them planting trees. The party secretary of the local village brought cold drinks to say thank-you to every one on the team.
