Final examinations for the 2013 school year are behind the students. During the week following exams, while the teachers scored and tabulated results, the students planted hundreds of pine and fruit trees on the campus outside the compound. Each student was directed to bring at least three trees, of which they will be responsible.
Under teacher and student leader supervision, the students dug holes, planted trees and staked protective tee-pees around their trees. In a few years, there should be a lot of shade, wind-break, soil conservation and food produced by this long-awaited project.
We have a couple of our garden beds devoted to seedlings of additional trees to replace any that fail, and some decorative varieties dedicated to grace the grounds inside the compound and around the teachers’ houses.
In God’s grace and service,
Gary and Joanne Grenell
