Nature Calls. For a Little Help

In our school, we are required to plant trees, 12 of them, for our National Service Training Program. My colleagues and I decided to take advantage of the semestral break for this activity.

The area was along the coastal area of Brgy Bakhaw (vernacular for mangrove) in Cotcot, Liloan. I expected it to be easy because we chose to plant mangroves. I thought making holes in soft soil (or was it sand? Not sure) would cost no sweat. I was wrong.

Hello, stranger.

People who left me while I was taking pictures. I love you guys.

Though it was tiring, it was just as fun and a whole lot fulfilling. The fact that mangroves grow at a slow rate, and that there are factors that threat their very survival, makes it more rewarding if we find out that they survived.
