On March 18th 2010 Community Forests Pemba, the NGO I helped to found, came to Mkoani to plant trees around both Uweleni Secondary School and Ng'ombeni Primary School in order to help prevent erosion around both campuses. We planted cinnamon seedlings, lychee seedlings, and mtondoo (a hardwood native to Pemba) seedlings. By the end of the day we planted over 100 trees around the campuses.
