In Ontario province, on Earth Day, 22nd April 2017, 25 SSIO members, including young adults and children from the Sathya Sai Centre of Middlefield, participated in the city of Markham’s Adopt-a-Park programme. Featherstone Park is nestled amongst a row of houses, but the greenery had been blemished by litter. Sathya Sai volunteers worked together to remove garbage accumulated around the trunks of trees, under stadium bleachers, and near the fences of a baseball field. A neighbour, noticing the noble efforts, joined in the efforts, while another onlooker remarked, “God bless you.” The neighbours appreciated the work of the Sathya Sai volunteers, who in turn rejoiced knowing that they had served Mother Nature, consistent with the teachings of Sathya Sai Baba.
