We made the decision to start the reforestation now, as it is raining every day already. Based on last year’s season the rain was gone by March already and we need to take advantage of the rain when we can get it. The November numbers of baby trees already in bags ready for the launching reforestation for the communities are:
Analakely 210
Fiadanana 3284
Fiarenana 1325
Tsaramandroso 765
With planting starting now we hope to continue until February with reforestation efforts if we get enough rain.
At our last site visit we gave an award to the person who planted to most trees in each of the four villages to keep the momentum going.
We also implemented some changes for our reforestation efforts:
Each parent who sends their children to our schools must commit to plant 10 trees, plus 3 trees for each newborn baby.
In case the rain is gone ahead of time, each person must water his/her trees during the dry time to make sure the baby trees strong enough to survive the elements.
