Progress
Reports:
28 March 2007
The project started in November in Arcahaie, 3ème Des Vases, at Carrefour Poy, by the preparation of the land and a feasibility study for planting trees in the area.
Our biggest difficulty seems to be the customary motives of the Luloise population to freely pick from the land. It is a challenge to overcome. Now we are starting to educate the population and are taking care of purchasing material for the project. However, the big difficulty is that our economic resources are limited, given that we would like to start planting beginning May, particularly 1 May because it will be the Labre festival.
