Dear Diary:
I am so happy at the Nobel Prize award. The Nobel Foundation recognized my work on environment. I launched a campaign to regenerate and revive forests in my region; women folk contributed a lot in this campaign. Tree planting movement helped me and many other women like me in the following ways:
1. The ability to feel the confidence to plant saplings and nurture them into big trees.
2. To earn an income by selling those trees.
3. Transformation of the landscape and environment.
4. Local flora and fauna began to thrive again.
5. People became aware of their rights and conscious about them.
I didn’t have the slightest idea the world was watching me. I am so much thankful to God, people and the world for recognizing my work.
