In the spirit of Laudato Si St. Eugene’s School in Dhaka City, Bangladesh and the Oblate Scholasticate community organized “Tree Plantation Fair and Fruit Festival – 2026.” The students and parents have learnt the importance of trees and fruits in our daily lives. The Trees provide us with oxygen, shade, and a healthy environment, while fruits give us essential nutrients.
In this event, the Oblates in Bangladesh encouraged our students to plant more trees and enjoy good fruits. It also encouraged them to love and protect our Mother Earth.
