Every year on May 22 people around the world celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity, showing support for conserving the Earth’s biodiversity. This year’s theme was invasive alien species, a major threat to biodiversity.
This year Sustainable Harvest International, an international organization that provides farming families in Central America with the training and tools to overcome poverty while restoring our planet's tropical forests, chose St. Benedict R.C. School as the site for a tree planting ceremony as a part of the Green Wave.
Teachers, students, parents, government officials, and community members gathered in the school yard as students planted a mayflower tree. Despite the heat, it was a successful day and students are taking great care of the new mayflower tree in the yard.
