December visit part 2 - seminars and time to rebuild

We participated in several seminars with local people.  These were led by local community leaders who talked about the importance of trees more that ever before after the hurricane.

 

Sometimes the seminars ended in song!

Trees give us food! trees give us life! if we cut and do not plant, we get misery. this is how it is. so we are all going to plant, we are all going to plant so we can live...

Not all was lost.  Quite a few trees were salvaged.
