Tree are growing well

By Markus Faigle | Volunteer Project Director

Health Center in Fiadanana

The awards ceremony for the three most successful tree planters earlier this year had a lasting result in our communities. In the village of Fiadanana the 2013 results are:

450 trees planted by the parents association
100 trees planted by students from Zahana’s school
1200 trees planted by the villagers.

Fiarenana, our other village, is the leader in the reforestation efforts with 11,798 trees for this season! This ambitious goal has been set by 58 people in the village (with a population just over 300). They made a list with how many each of them will plant and the biggest committment is for 400 trees.

It is very encouraging to see for Zahana that the tree planting has indeed taken root in our communities. Please keep in mind that Madagascar is in the Southern hemisphere and it is summer and the dry season right now, when it is too hot to plant trees.

In other important community news: the Health Center for Fiadanana is almost finished (see photo) Details on our website groundbreaking in July. We just got this photo of an almost completed building, with our traditional healer Raleva checking out its progress.

Best regards and Happy Holidays
