💼 What the programme involves
Theme : Education and children’s leisure activities
The objective is to get the children of this locality to discover the others with their cultures and ways of living, offer them a way to relax and express themselves in ways other than those they have habitually. At the same time liberate their parents for some hours. For this project, we also want to make the population conscious of the benefits offered by the trees. The young people of this area in collaboration with the FAGAD volunteers will plant trees on parcels of land particularly designated. This project is placed in the framework of sensibilisation and the fight against the rising temperatures of the climate. It is also a support for education by furnishing a source of finance for the school by way of planting fruit trees whose fruit will be sold.We also desire on this occasion to create a group dynamism between the young people on the one hand and the population on the other hand.
