Planting Trees in Senegalese Schools
British Council Connecting Classrooms Project, SENEGAL
To celebrate World Environment Day in 2006, students in schools in Senegal involved in the British Council Connecting Classrooms Project committed part of their school day to tree planting. Students & teachers from Djinabo High School, Tete Diadhiou Junior Secondary School & Biram Beye Primary School participated in this exercise. They planted various indigenous trees within the school compound and committed to nurturing the trees. It is their hope that this will reassert the importance of respecting and protecting the environment and living in harmony with it.
Jane Henry the Project Manager for Connecting Classrooms hopes that this project will continue to encourage young people to enhance their intellectual, practical and creative skills & capabilities at individual and collective levels. By so doing the young people will contribute considerably to the advancement of ideas and practices on global issues such as the environment.
Together we can achieve!
