A move to help regenerate soil and grow healthy plants.
Despite Covid, in the year 2021 ,when the campaign to plant 10k + moringa’s in the South East Asia started with the Global Campaign for Peace Education ( GCPE) , I was also engaged as one of the advisors from india, We also promoted through a local forum “ Natures , Pets Guardian, Nagaland ( NPG) . Dr Leban Serto introduce us to the GCPE, It is coordinated world wide by Dr Tony Jenkins from the US since 1999 and it was the first time as we started advocating about this tree ,I begin to know how beneficial and sacred this plant was , I started collaborating with different churches ,schools ,colleges ,NGOs ,different leaders /elders from various local and beyond . I was advocating for the growing of Moringa trees and also for Peace Education which is very much a priority in our society and also which is one of the core values of GCPE.
In the year 2021 when we started this campaign we started just with the aim to plant 10k + moringas in South East Asia but the very first year itself we as a team planted around 50k + moringas and on the 2nd year also we planted above 50k + moringas in India, Nepal , Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Philippines, Hongkong, and even reaching South Africa with Mariana Price, who started the Shine Africa Campaign in October 2021 .
The significant step is the role of NBCC who joined and now leading the group with plan to grow 105000 moringa seeds across Nagaland, India since January 2024 ; After procuring the 24 kg of best seeds in January 2024 , NBCC distributed to it’s various Association across Nagaland who prepared the seeds and sprouts which they plan to officially announce on 18th May 2024 .This venture is perhaps a local organic initiatives and climate action and greatly appreciated to the leaderships of NBCC General Secretary Rev Zelhou Keyho and Youth Secretary Rev Suhoto Chishi.
This initiative will educate and involve the people to know the importance and value of moringa tree and can give a positive shift in our soil regeneration , provide healthy nutrients in our overall diet systems. Through this campaign , we must encourage the growing of at least one moringa tree in all the households in Nagaland.
Recollecting the collaboration with the NBCC in the year 2023, a key Baptist Christian organization based in Nagaland, India. It is affiliated with the Council of Baptist Churches in Northeast India( ACBCNEI) and the Asia Pacific Baptist Federation ( APBF) ,Baptist World Alliance( BwA) ; the headquarters is located in Kohima, the capital of Nagaland.
The youth secretary of Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM IMPUR) Sir Toshi Sanglir in connection with the NBCC invited me to address the Youth leaders retreat meeting on 26th September 2023 at Jalukie where the proposal was given by the NBCC Youth Secretary Rev Suhuto Chishi to plant Moringa in all associations under NBCC as their project to care for the Mother Earth and for all living creatures .The proposal was later accepted by the larger Council of leaders of NBCC . Eventually , Early January 2024 they purchased 24 kgs of healthy Moringa seeds which is around 1 lakh five thousand seeds in totality to be distributed to all the churches under NBCC .
This year in the month of May 18 2024 they will be planting the moringas seeds and sprouts all over Nagaland for those churches under NBCC.
During April 2024 as part of my Local and Global initiatives, I receive the Scholarship for the In- person training of the Moringa for Life course in Sri Lanka. The first of it’s kind- An intensive week long training in Asia Pacific, facilitated by Mariko Giffford and Damayanti Lee .The program which was an ice breaker in rebuilding and boosting to all the works that I have been doing in last few years. We begun by celebrating the” National Moringa Day in Sri Lanka,” which was inaugurated by the Agriculture Minister for Medicine , Shri Sisira Jayakoti at Colombo on 18th April 2024 .Later, we celebrated the World” Earth Day” at Trincomalae ,Sri Lanka by planting many moringa trees at the farm by the trainees of Moringa for life .
The present initiative taken by NBCC ,has involved the local communities and created a larger participation to grow more for regenerating soils and sustainable healthy environment . This is indeed ray of hope and faith!

I have acquired some new items from your web-site about computer systems. Another thing I’ve always thought is that computers have become a product that each household must have for a lot of reasons. They offer convenient ways in which to organize homes, pay bills, search for information, study, hear music as well as watch tv shows. An innovative method to complete every one of these tasks has been a laptop computer. These computers are portable ones, small, powerful and mobile.
Hi! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
The Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) is taking a huge step in environmental sustainability by planting over 100,000 moringa seeds! This initiative aims to regenerate soil, boost local nutrition, and educate communities about the benefits of moringa. Kudos to NBCC for leading this impactful campaign! #GreenInitiative #Moringa #ClimateAction
