Today, of course, was Friday. Today we again went with Starry to take measurements. This time we walked a little bit more and went to I think four different plots. The program has different communities each one with a leader. H-Trip teaches the community leaders how important trees are by using pictures. The teacher asks the group what trees are good for and
if they get it
right the teacher will put the picture of that object up on the board. First we visited the nursery for the trees. The H-Trip people had about 3,200 seedlings in small plastic tubes lined up. When the trees grow big
enough the will plant them in plots. To get to the nursery we had to walk over this very mean pig. Oh well. After, Starry told us all the different names of all the trees. When we were finished there we heading up the hill to a mans plot. Starry then tested us on how well we were listening. We didn't do too bad. Then we headed up an even steeper hill to a plot at the top. When we reached it the Haitians following us sat down and played a game. The game was to take sticks and put berries/seeds on them. Then they cleared a place and spun the toys like dreidels! Erin and our friend Lizzie tried. When we finished measuring the degrees of the slop and such we went to yet another plot. Again we did measurements and by then we were all very hot. We had back down the steep hills hopped in the nice cool car and drove off. Over all the morning was very fun. Signing off- Emily :P
