Planting trees progress report in land 5

By Jean Damascene Uwizeyimana | Project Leader

Dear Patrons,

Rwandan Youth Development And Voluntary Organization would like to express my deep gratitude for all the support that you have provided so far for our tree planting project hosted at GlobalGiving. On behalf of the Rwandan Youth Development and Voluntary Organization (RWAYDAVO), We thank you very much for all the support that you have provided so far for our Rwanda forestation project.

We are so glad to share that we are making very good progress in our fundraising, and we are happy to let you know that we resumed tree planting activities, on Saturday 13th, and the 14th of November 2020, in total we have planted 3600 trees, those trees included eucalyptus and Grevillea Robusta.

We would also like to let you know that after planting trees an additional 4500 on land five, planting land 5 will be completed and we will start the preparation of the land donated by the Rulindo district to be grown by RWAYDAVO. On this land, around 10,000 trees will be planted.

I just wanted to take a minute to update you on the efforts we are taking for getting the fifth land completely planted and how our volunteers are working towards that, and provide an update on the planting activities.

The land prepared is located in Taba cell, Colline Mwite village in Rulindo district of Burega sector, Rwanda. This area’s Google code is Rwanda: 7299+2X5. To plant 3600 trees, 50 children and 20 RWAYDAVO volunteers participated in these planting activities.

As we completed tree planting for land 5, the next step will be to use the BRC brand fence, to protect the land in which the trees are planted from animals like goats, cows, and sheep, as well as from the disturbances caused by the humans. After all these activities, we will be doing maintenance. The maintenance will include pruning the area properly to keep the trees healthy and strong, Water is food for our trees and plants – that’s why effective watering is one of the most important ways to care for and maintain, so watering might be needed during the dry season. Also. as the soil compaction prevents water and oxygen from infiltrating the tree’s roots, we will ensure that the soil is not compacted. We will be doing mulch about 6 inches from the base of your tree so that we cannot damage our tree roots.

We wish and hope that through this project, we will be able to make a significant impact in the lives of the people in the community, and instill the importance of trees in the minds of the people so that they take care of them on an ongoing basis.

I once again like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support and donations that you have made for our project, and we look forward to your continued support in the
coming days.

If you wish to start a monthly recurring donation for our project to support our ongoing work, please feel free to start a monthly recurring donation using the link provided in the link section.

With Best Regards,

Jean Damascene Uwizeyimana
RWAYDAVO President
