The Oasis School Program is continuing its amazing growth. Our team has a monthly visit to the premises of the school during which we check on the status of the plants and learn from the children about what they have done so far. For this past 3 months (September through December), we are so happy to say that the plants have grown substantially and that the children and the school master are proud of the work they have accomplished. Funds were used to purchase additional seeds, to fix the water-cistern and to organize a one-week intensive for planting and weeding.
These are small acts, but their impact is immense in a region that is increasignly suffering from lack of water. This year, the rainy season was not as abundant as it should be, and desertification is keeping apace. Creating a small Oasis is an activity and an engagement that acts as a buffer and especially creates hope that acts do bear fruits. So far, 3 primary schools in this region have contacted us as they want to replicate this program. We are again happy and proud that this garden is begetting other gardens. Please stay posted with us.
