Treeplanting at International Women's Day 2020

By Markus Faigle | Volunteer Project Director

Once again, to celebrate International Women's Day 2020 on March 8 a great community-wide tree planting festival, including dancing and cultural performances took place in both of our villages.

The best part of the sentence is the ‘once again’. It has become a cherished tradition that on every International Women’s Day, initiated and driven by the women’s group, the entire community gets together to plant trees. As an added bonus, for the first time ever, a group from the neighboring village joined the festivities because they want to be part of it. But the women said: if you wanna dance you also need to participate in planting trees.
