In April and May 2025, SSSIO members from Zone 8 participated in large-scale tree planting across multiple countries. In Kyrgyzstan, a small group of volunteers planted cherry and vinegar tree saplings, along with bushes that formed a protective hedge around an apartment complex. They also created flowerbeds and finished the area with stone fencing, experiencing deep gratitude and connection inspired by Swami’s grace. 
In Belarus, 50 fruit, pine, cedar, and thuja trees were planted, along with 50 ornamental bushes in urban spaces, residential yards, and near apartment buildings in Minsk, enhancing the surrounding area’s beauty and environment.
Across seven regions in Russia, more than 1,500 trees and more than 170 shrubs were planted during the spring season, contributing significantly to local reforestation and beautification efforts. 
Overall, SSSIO members planted over 1,700 trees and about 250 shrubs in Zone 8 countries. This collaborative project brought immense joy, a sense of unity, and spiritual upliftment to all involved. Their dedicated service was lovingly offered to Lord Sai, with gratitude.
