In a small village surrounded by green hills and clean air, lives a 75-year-old man with a big heart and hands toughened by a lifetime of work. His name is Hamza, but everyone in the village knows him as “the grandfather of the trees.” After a life dedicated to nature, Hamza decided that his retirement would not be quiet, but filled with actions that make a difference.
At first, people looked at him with curiosity when he began planting trees every morning, without noise or asking for help. He had a simple but powerful goal: to plant 1,000 trees to help the earth, the air, and life for the generations to come. Every day, he rose with the sun, carried a bag of seeds and an old shovel, and walked through fields and hillsides planting trees.
For each tree he planted, he said a small prayer and placed a sign with the planting date. “This one is for my grandchildren,” he would say. “This one is for the world we want to leave behind.”
For a month, no one truly understood the scale of what he was doing—until a group of young people decided to help. They shared his story online, and it quickly went viral. Schools, organizations, and even people from other countries began reaching out. Inspired by his example, thousands of people in different places began their own tree-planting campaigns in their communities.
Today, Grandpa Hamza is no longer just an old man in a small village—he is the symbol of a global movement for the Earth and the future. The trees he planted are not just roots in the soil, but roots of hope for all of humanity.
