"I'm not going to change the world. You're not going to change the world. But we can help - we can all help" - Cristiano Ronaldo - footballer and philanthropist

I always think that we, as an individual can easily destroy the entire planet without the help of others. But to reverse or cure our Mother’s Earth it takes more than a community and yet with little result. People always say, we are just like a small drop of water in the blue ocean. No matter how much we put our effort, the impact is too small to be noticed.

But I guess this man Jadav Molai Payeng from Asam India didn’t read the script. He single handedly for the past 30 years had transform a coastal sandbar of river Brahmaputra into a forest. He had been planting and tending trees for an area of about 1,360 acres.

Now it’s called the Molai forest. Not only he had transform a sandbar into a forest, but he also created a new eco-diverse system where wild animals such as elephants and rhinos can come and roam freely.

After reading about this remarkable man’s life and effort, now I believed as an individual, we do can make a difference to our society. 

In this blog I want to share with you one of the Youtube videos about this incredible man. You may also just Google his name and can read various articles about his accomplishment.
