Tomorrow we plant trees! This morning I went to the tree nursery and picked up the trees we needed for the school. We've got quite a variety and I picked up some extras in case some other girls want to join in the planting (and because we probably should have a sausage tree on the school property.)

Just to give you some information on how we've got to this point of being able to plant I'll give you a little recap as to what's been going on. Throughout the last week the 'tree club' has been meeting to decide what type of tree each girl wanted to plant based on whether they wanted a fruit tree, a shade tree, a flowering tree, a fast growing tree, a water loving tree, a drought resistant tree, etc. We've come up with the best tree for each of the girl's locations and placed a symbol for it on my professionally crayon-coloured, almost-to-scale map.

This afternoon I'm meeting with Patrick, who works at Red Shank Nursery and knows a lot more about Kenyan trees than I, to verify that we have decided to put these trees in the best spots possible to have the most beautiful school in Rongai.
