Gushie is starting a school garden and we are helping them. We had a bunch of trees in the shade cloth at the farm so we offered them to any of the schools that were interested. Gushie has fenced off a garden area so we planted 22 lemon trees and 22 moringa trees there. Right now they have planted veggies in with the trees, but as the trees mature they will move the garden to a new area. Lots of kids came to help with the tree planting. School is vacating for a month break, so we will see how the trees do with out the teachers around. The teachers seem really enthusiastic about the garden, so we hope to help them expand.

The headmaster is overseeing the planting.
We also got to see the kids eating food with the vegatables from the garden. Ghanaian kids love veggies as long as they are ground up. Big chunks are are really hated.
