The Secondary Industrial Institute has launched here the 35th Tree Week under the slogan “IGRISHA”. Faisal Bin Aqeel Kadasah, Director of the Institute, told the 500 strong audience that the occasion promotes a positive culture towards the environment and educates trainees of the institute on the importance of planting trees. He pointed out the importance of planting trees in Islam. “This event calls upon us to realize the benefits of trees. I call on employees to increase the love of trees and encourage others to take good care of them in parks, gardens, children's playgrounds and homes.” Kadasah planted the first tree to mark the beginning of the week-long activities. A total of 1,000 seedlings will be planted at the institute's gardens. Trainees will also spend time cleaning the surrounding environment and holding a number of lectures and workshops raising awareness on the importance of trees. __
