More trees sown
Harry Makawa our Project Manager in Sitima has once more been busy sowing tree seeds. It is anticipated that the new seedlings will be ready to plant in the land around 17 schools during February as part of our annual Tree Planting Day in St Michael’s Zone. The trees are valuable in providing shade and the fruit trees, which are only taking around 18 months – 2 years to bear fruit provide a great addition to the diet of the children.
