What makes you motivated? What gets you out of the house on Saturday morning? Let me tell you about Lena, who hadn't felt energetic earlier in the day at all, but found her inner Superwoman by thinking about others.

"I saw that you will be on your own at this session, Kash, and I thought it could not be like that!" - Lena.

Lena hopped on her bike and, together with her partner, cycled from Southall to Hanwell to the rescue! She found Bernd's Orchard, where a group of HANGOT members gathered to plant a very special tree. The tree was to celebrate the contributions of a regular volunteer Bruno, who was going to leave the country by the end of the month.

After the bittersweet goodbye, the team headed to the Piggeries Orchard to mulch the fruit trees and cut back the brambles, especially the ones spreading from the corner, behind the pond.

Lena not only had a go at every job: shovelling, wheelbarrowing and snipping the brambles. Her contagious enthusiasm kept everyone smiling. Where did she get her positive energy from?

"Look at those blossoms, the sun, the canal! This is heaven! Thanks for bringing me here" - Lena.

Lena was delighted about her decision to come to the HANGOT session and enjoy the glorious weather. Participating in Bruno's tree planting made her as excited as the children. Before heading off for a coffee with Kash, Lena gave the kids a round of high-fives and praised them for their great work at the orchard. Way to go!
