Pipal Tree works with students on social and environmental issues. Educational programmes are regularly conducted. These programmes are organized around the themes of Critique of Development, Social and Environmental empowerment and Indian Culture and Social Life.
A poem written by one of our students at Fireflies, the campus of Pipal Tree:
The Firefly
I was hazy.all that i saw was Venus and two black crows
so i asked you to help me See; i said
firefly, lead me to the place where nomads meet
make sense of my scrambled scrabble words
and you brought me here.
brought me clearly to
climbers of trees, believers in today and yesterday
and in maybe tomorrow
you said
when you can't stand right side up, lay upside down
and i did
then i closed my eyes and started to see
you turned off your light and whispered.
you told me to follow the darkness
and i am empowered
- Maria Geyman
