Planting trees on my birthday at 50

On my birthday today, am adding more 350 trees , the trees included grivellia, mangoes , eucalyptus and guavas to our Rukoki school forest. 

I was marking my 50th Birthday. 

Ofcourse drinks and eats plus a BIRTHDAY CAKE was enjoyed by the multiple orphans and people around me.

The tee planting campaigns project is dedicated to the Kasese Humanist Orphans and its an environmental conservation initiative that aims at protecting nature and its beauty,  saving for the orphans and also as a school sustainable effort to help the school with firewood to prepare school meals.

Attached are some pictures.

Update on the Kirembe Mini farmland

Today I was visiting our small mini farmland in kirembe, a kasese town suburb.

On this small farm we plant bananas, fruit trees of jackfruit, avocadoes,oranges. We plant beans as well. This is a project of Kasese Humanist orphans. 

Today ,we were lucky harvesting 2 sweet banana 🍌 pieces.

They are always green when fresh and yellow when ripe. I am happy the jackfruit and avocados there are doing well.

Food security project initiatives ensures a constant food presence at our establishments all year round. 

I also checked on our mini forest as well in this very locality.  One of the musizi trees is getting higher and am reserving it for timber in future years.

Cassava growing at the Bizoha school Muhokya

As harvesting of cassava from our Bizoha school plantation is in progress, we are adding fresh cassava stems in the soil.

This cassava variety we are planting gets to maturity and ready for harvesting in just 6 months.

We had initially planted close to 2 acres of cassava and we are grateful that harvesting moments is ongoing.  

The cassava is mixed with beans and eaten as lunches or supper, we also dry the cassava and mill it to generate cassava flour eaten as tapioca and much enjoyed by our children and locals, cassava flour can be prepared as porridge and served as breakfast.

Different ways you can support our school project

 

Education is vital to breaking the cycle of poverty. But in Uganda, school is not free and we who run as private schools do face lots of challenges here and there. Sometimes the collections aren't enough and some of the parents rarely fulfill their obligations to pay in time due to some unavoidable circumstances. 

Kasese Humanist School was founded in 2011 by the Kasese United Humanist Association. It is located in the western region of Uganda. The school is founded on humanist principles and science. It is open to boys and girls from ages 3 – 14. We are entirely a day school and have some few pupils on fullboard. 

The school operates as a nonprofit charity company registered with the Uganda Registration Service bureau and the Ministry of Education and Sports.

The school has now grown into three campuses which includes boarding facilities for orphaned children.

Benefits of tree planting campaigns in schools

School Tree Planting projects help connect students to the benefits of trees and foster environmental stewardship.

Trees help moderate temperature and muffle noise.

Environmental benefits such as clean air and water.

They even help improve air quality by absorbing some airborne compounds that could be harmful to us, and by giving off oxygen.

They even help improve air quality by absorbing some airborne compounds that could be harmful to us, and by giving off oxygen.

Spending time around trees and in nature also makes us healthier and even improves our students’ academic performances.

Recent scientific studies suggest students are better able to concentrate, complete tasks, and follow directions after playing in natural settings.

Self-discipline in girls can be achieved through increased exposure to nature.

Teachers can use the planting process to discuss the benefits trees provide, while including many subjects that their classes are studying.

Trees conserve energy in the Dry Seasons. Properly planted trees can will help cool schools environments during the dry seasons.

Fruit trees once grown around schools provides free fruits to the school community and students in general.

Having trees around our schools provides as enough shade and during students free time, on a scorching sun they can shelter there.
