The IBM Centennial Grant to "Save Ecosystem Project" from Green Hills Group

 It gives me pleasure to inform that the Centennial Service Effort that we at IBM were driving in Pune in collaboration with Green Hills Group has received a "Team Community Grant" last week. This grant is given as part of the IBM Centennial Initiative to organizations where more than 50 IBMers serve to contribute more than 200 Hours of service hours and make a measurable impact to the societal need. During the month of June-July-August, more than 70 IBMers participated the tree plantation and nurturing drives with their colleagues, friends and families on weekends. They planted more than 250+ saplings and worked on several other nurturing initiatives on the hilltop near MIT/ARAI in Pune. This grant will help the NGO to effectively run "Save Ecosystem" project where the group is trying to nurture naturally growing native trees on this hilltop spanning 200 Hectares and IBMers along with several other corporates in Pune will continue to contribute efforts round the year.

Thanks to all those IBMers who actively participated and made this happen. The key challenge is to get them come and contribute to the effort during rest of the year .
