PUMULA Youth Leadership Forum (PYLF) in partnership with Creative Arts Pioneers Association, conducted a tree planting initiative at Passionate Alms of Children Primary School in Pumula North on Monday 27 September 2021.

Passionate Alms of Children Primary School was recently affected by heavy winds, blowing off a third of the classroom’s roof.

The Pumula Community Leaders, School Children and the Youths were not afraid to get their hands dirty helping dig, plant and water the plants as a way to position trees as wind breakers to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

In support of Impel a partner of the PYLF aimed at creating climate resilient communities fighting climate change with home grown solutions, teachers, students, and stakeholders planted 20 trees.

Umkhaya, Jacaranda, Leopard tree, Avocado, Bauhinia, Mangoes were among the trees which were planted to preserve the environment and fight climate change.
