May 1st is Agriculture and Labor Day in Haiti. And on this day, it’s tradition to give children trees. Families visitied local public school in La Sikri to celebrate and talk about all the natural products that are part of Haiti’s rich history.
We gave out over 300 trees today, and most were cacao and cashew because they’re in the season. Several local professionals and agronomists gave speeches about improving life quality through agroforestry. And they also discussed their future vision for the environment and agriculture in the region.
