Have you ever planted 100 trees? Because I have :)

So yesterday all the youth from the church were made to work at Mutoya as we have to raise funds to buy a new projector for the church, as the last one was struck by lightening. And the deal was, that the youth had to play a soccer match against the elders. And if the youth lost we had to buy the projector, and if we won, the elders would buy it. And it ended up that the youth's lost. So Mutoya employed us to do work around base, and then that money that we earned would go towards the projector.

So I was apart of TEAM TREE! And we had to plant 100 flamboyant's. Let me say that it was pretty cool knowing that in one morning we planted 100 tree's. It was really hard work, but was so much fun. Never been so dirty in my whole life, but was so worth it. Knowing that when people come to Mutoya in 20 years, and see huge tree's, that I planted them. I got seriously burnt, but there are much worse things that could happen, so I don't care about that either. It was a great day, lots of team building and simply having fun with all the youths.

We had fun naming the tree's. My first two are called Gimmly and Elf. As this weekend our house had a Lord Of The Rings marathon. Which resulted in us giving characters to each other, and my roommates think that I am the perfect Orc. Anyway, this weekend has been amazing, and eco friendly :)
