What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." -- Jane Goodall.

In line with the sustainable development goal 13, Climate Action, Ethio-Swedish alumni network has planned to participate in the national campaign of planting seedlings towards achieving the green project in Addis Ababa. "The environment is where we all meet; where all of us have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share." -- Lady Bird Johnson". Ethio Swedish alumni members will gather at Meskel square, Addis Ababa on July 28 to plant about 500 - 1,000 seedlings as a contribution to the National Greening Campaign.
The seedlings and exact plantation site will be provided by the Ethiopian Environmental Protection Authority. Transportation to and from the planting site will be arranged and T-shirts (with logos of SI and Ethio-Swedish, and event theme) will be distributed on the bus.
