The demand for trees has been high especially after all the recent rains that left the soil soft enough for planting. We were able to give out 13 different kinds of fruit trees today. Only twelve weeks ago community members brought us seeds from their favorite fruits so that we were able to grow the food they love to eat. Now with 10,000 seedlings ready to go home, we will be busy giving out trees through May, the heart of the rainy season.

Severe malnutrition is a problem in this region and growing highly nutritious fruit trees is one great way to ensure food security long term. Here is a list of the trees we are planting now:

Avocado
Jack Fruit
Almond
Cashew
Tamarind
Cacao
Corossol
Coconut
Lime
Orange
Mango
Moringa
Sopadillo
