			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got this in a mail from a friend in Bangalore. Janet and her team is doing a wonderful job. I say that because I saw Bangalore losing around 800 trees in storm in May 2006. That is when thousands of fish died in Puttenhalli lake. All related to mis-management of the environment by us humans. I am sending a cheque.</p>
<p>The problem:</p>
<p>Over the last 4 years, Janet and her volunteers at treesforfree have planted 12,896 trees across Bangalore City to restore the vanishing tree cover. All in an old Maruti car.<br />
Now the car has broken down. And the planting has stopped. But the tree felling continues&#8230;and with it, the global warming, failed monsoons, climate change&#8230;and a host of other problems that affect all of us.</p>
<p>The solution:<br />
If we can raise enough donations to buy a new vehicle, we would be back on the road again, planting trees, cooling the globe and healing the earth. The vehicle ideally suited for our operations is a Mahindra pickup. It costs 4 lacs. If 4000 of us gave just 100 rupees each, then the planting can start again.</p>
<p>How you can help:</p>
<p>Donate as much as you can. All donations are tax exempt under 80 G and you will be given a receipt. After you send/transfer money, please send a mail to vinod.eshwer@gmail.com with the amount sent/transferred and the names of people who donated + address where you want the receipts to be delivered.</p>
<p>1.       Bank transfer. The details are:</p>
<p>Beneficiary: Rajanet Yegneswaran Charitable Trust</p>
<p>Beneficiary Account 9942500102168101</p>
<p>Bank: Karnataka Bank Koramangala Ext., 17th Main, Bangalore, India</p>
<p>Code: KARB0000094.</p>
<p>Or</p>
<p>2.       A cheque in favour of ‘Rajanet Yegneswaran Charitable Trust’ and send it to</p>
<p>Rajanet Yegneswaran Charitable Trust</p>
<p>No 11, 20 L Cross, Sri Rama temple Road,</p>
<p>Ejipura, Viveknagar Post, Bangalore-560 047</p>
<p>Tel: +91 9845449703</p>
<p>Thank you in advance from all the babies, birds, bees and other beings to come <img src='http://www.amandeepsandhu.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
