We may have gone silent over the holidays, but there's been plenty more shit happening!
What do you get when you mix school-children, rabbits and tree saplings?
You get our newest launch - One Child, One Tree.
With help from G Adventures and the Planterra Foundation, TSSH is providing rabbits & fruit & mixed-tree saplings to 500 elementary school students in southern Rwanda who will learn to compost the rabbit manure to feed their trees once planted.
The children from Kamatsira Primary school will work with our friend Claver who is an ornithologist and arborist, as well as a Nyungwe National Park Guide.
In fact, Claver has developed the entire project. A copy of his proposal is available upon request.
The aim is to establish tree nurseries, encouraging long-term thinking & environmental awareness, and re-forestation.
Rabbit reproduction also creates an income source to cover school-related expenses.
So it started with sheep & goats…and continues with rabbits!
