Moringa oleifera “the miracle tree” & “mother’s best friend ”



This week we have been taking baby Moringa Tree’s to the preschools. We planted these trees a few weeks ago and, have been watering them daily and now they are big enough to take to the preschools. We chose this type of tree because it’s like nutritional dynamite and can be used as  medicine for a lot of things!!
we put the trees in a bucket and strapped them to our bikes



vincent loved the trees!



We explained to the teacher’s that the students are to water the trees everyday…we wanted the students to learn that these are extremely important trees! We told the students that these trees can help them in many ways like when; they are sick, need vitamins, or for nutrition…also, they can help keep the mosquito's away from the school…
  such an adorable group!! the little guy on the far left in the gray shirt was stung by a bee right under his eye on his way to school :( We used some of the money we were giving for the preschool's last month to buy two different types of medicine...one is for cold like symptoms and the other is for fevers and pain...I carry these medicines with me everyday so if we come across a child in-need we can help them...we would love to leave them at the preschool's but fear someone may take them...the pain tablets i have are chewable and for kids... i walked to the water well with him and had him chew one and drink some water...then i put two more in his pocket and pointed to him and then his face "hoping he understood they were for just him"  when we got back from the water well i explained to the supervisor that was with me what i did and then had him translate it to him...he smiled real BIG when he understood...i hope the medicine will ease the pain on his sweet little face...bee stings are never fun!
