The dream of reforestation has been a driving force behind our participatory community development efforts. More than once we have learned trees take their sweet old time to grow at their own pace. Planting is one thing, but rain, weather, and all too often in Madagascar, bush fires are factors that need to be taken into consideration.
Reconstructing a picture from the same angle always poses a challenge, but we hope, better than with any words, we can illustrate what successful reforestation looks like. The proximity to the school and tender loving care by our students makes these efforts successful (2007 versus 2016). The same applies to the health center in the middle of the village, where watchful eyes can share the burden of watering the trees or keeping the cattle at bay if need be (20014 versus 2016).
