We planted 18 indigenous trees at the AMANDLA EduFootball Chris Campbell Memorial Football field in Khayelitsha. It was a sunny day, we had quite a few volunteers from all over and lots of help from the fourth-graders. Both the ground staff, facilitators and children had lots of fun and were super amped, they greeted us with a dance and a song and kicked off planting with their very own AMANDLA war cry - exciting! Whitey, the groundsman, is very concerned about the trees' well-being and had lots of great ideas of how to make sure they'll be fine - the wind is strong out there! Additionally, the kids were very creative in fullfilling our task of giving the planted trees names of their choice, such as Rockstar, Happy day, Lucky day and Princess Gertrud, and when we put them down on their own tree-map and read them out aloud in the end of the day everyone cheered for their trees again!
