In the last two years, they planted over 100,000 trees. "The main purpose is to recover the damaged lands by holding it with the tree roots," explained Yezina Alemneh, one of the committee members coordinating the community's effort. "The water shortage is becoming unbearable. We dig today for a better tomorrow." Read more in our latest article, written by Eliza L.
