When Sun Shuaitao joined the UN mission in Bentiu, South Sudan, he wasn’t just there to maintain peace—he was also on a mission to plant hope. In the compound of a Pakistani engineering unit, Sun gently placed a young tree into the red earth, marking it as a living symbol of solidarity and growth 🌍🤝.
Back home, the tree has become more than just a memory; it’s a daily reminder that even small acts can blossom into big change. For young people in cities like Mumbai, Jakarta, or Dhaka, it’s a nudge to think about how a single seed—literal or figurative—can spark wider community action.
The idea is simple: when we invest in our environment and each other, we nurture future generations. Whether you’re starting a rooftop garden in Kuala Lumpur or organizing a beach clean-up in Manila, every step counts towards a greener, more peaceful world 🌿✨.
Sun’s story shows that peacekeeping isn’t only about uniforms and patrols; it can be as rooted as a tree planted with purpose. And just like that sapling in Bentiu, our efforts today can grow into the forests of tomorrow.
