Sappi 2018 Calendar - September Feature

Inspiration:
 

Trees are a metaphor that represent life. When you teach someone something new, it’s like planting a tree, and when it grows it bears fruit. This inspires the growth of knowledge and
productivity. Many believe in solving problems under trees. Members of the community around the world, this is your own tree to inspire people to grow change around the world.
