Today, a large group of families hiked down to the nursery and surprised us with a large request for trees. Over 1,500 trees were delivered to them and nearby communities, and we were able to pay a truck driver $50 to take the families and their trees to the base of the mountain and into their community.
The cost of gas has skyrocketed in Haiti, but through donations, we had enough money in reserve to pay the driver. The families were excited to have a ride, and eagerly clambered onto the vehicle with their trees.
We look forward to keeping track of these trees and supporting and educating these families in keeping these new additions to their community healthy.
