A powerful message
The guys are
able to finish watering the trees today.
Other areas around us have gotten some
rain but the clouds continue to go around us. Yes, it can be discouraging but
that doesn't seem to stop the team as they work. Jean Robert explained that
the work he is doing is more important than getting paid. He would rather
see the land developed then to be paid.
A powerful
message from someone that doesn't have a lot of other means to live off of.

It’s time they moved…
Samuel started growing some seedlings on the
Lemuel property.
The CHICKENS have been feasting on the little shoots so TODAY the ladies moved the trees to Samuel’s land.
Samuel’s land is not far from the Lemuel property.
The Lemuel property was purchased 15 years ago. You can you see here how reforestation has changed this plot of land.
When the cistern/depot is finished being
built the tree nursery will be the next to build. Then we can start 1,000’s of
seedlings so this whole area can be reforested.
Seems like a big dream but we believe
it’s possible!

We thought it would rain..
Yesterday the clouds were banking and looking like it would
rain. The rain did not come.
The guys made the decision to water the trees but
they only had enough water to water 1/3 of the trees. They will see if they can
get more water on Monday.
Little Anya came to encourage the guys as they watered the trees.

little by little...
This week a few more donations came in!
We sent the truck into Anse Rouge to buy cement...and this is what you have!
The guys where very happy yesterday to start making the blocks. They will need 675 to have enough to make the depot/cistern.
We will wait till we have the funds to purchase the rest of the materials needed to start the construction.
Everyone is very excited about
the continuous progress on the land!

She has a chance…
She has a chance…
A year ago Widlene’s baby died unexpectedly. With little
education and no job things were looking bleak for her. Now Widlene has been
given a job to work on the land with the team of Samuel’s Trees. She will save
her money so she can go to school in the fall.
Helping Samuel’s Trees now is not only helping a long term
vision of change for this area but is giving jobs now for people who would not
have a chance to go further in their life.
