I received the ‘letter’, now what? March 29, 2008

STEP 1: Thats where the fun begins. If you’ve received a letter or an email, it will tell you what the objective of the “letter” is.

We sincerely hope that the objective is fulfilled.

STEP 2: Mail us contact details of the various responsible people you know to whom such “letters” can be sent.

We need these details so that we can help the organization grow by sending them letters.

STEP 3: If you have achieved the objective, why don’t you tell us about it (leave a comment or use our contact form). Send us your photographs, details, etc because each time you inform us, we’ll take it as a compliment.

And a compliment is a good dose of encouragement.

Ek Titli – How it started March 18, 2008

We had thought of the concept around the month of November in 2007. The deal was to push people to plant trees and more trees, because we all know the affects of Global Warming and also how important trees are to life. Every living being is affected by a tree. It’s said that the weather patterns are also affected by the number of trees in that area. From Weather to Landslides, from shade to shelter; the tree is the only thing common.

Finally in March, 2008 the idea was conceptualized. A domain was bought. i.e., www.ektitli.org. Ek signifies ONE and Titli signifies Butterfly. i.e., A butterfly.

The life of a butterfly starts on a tree, revolves around a tree and finishes with a tree. Considering, the importance of a tree to a butterfly’s life, we named our initiative “ek titli”.

The objective is to send “letters” (we started with our relatives and friends) asking them to participate in this thought, and help the titli grow. “Letters” are only sent on occasions (birthdays, anniversary, etc) or festivals. And only a fixed amount of “letters” are sent in a month, depending upon the funds we have collected for that particular month.
The participant keep visiting the web page (to see where we have reached) and help us send more letters by recommending someone(to recommend, click here).

For the month of March, our first set of “letters”, a total of 11 “letters” have been sent (on the 17th of March) wishing them a colourful Holi.

We believe that the titli needs a tree and the titli will survive.
