2.2. 5 June – World Environment Day – 500 Trees

Third Evaluation

“The time I spent with the Community Educators in this Audi SA / FTFA Greening of Olievenhoubosch was remarkable.” Said FTFA’s Community Forester, Solomon Mondlane. It was a learning experience for everyone according to Solomon. The residents were taught how to plant a tree, and how to take care of a tree.

This evaluation shows that the trees are doing well. “This community is doing everything to ensure that the trees are protected from racing dogs and running children. They have created animal barriers especially designed for their trees; some they used old tyres, old drums and bricks around their trees. This enables their trees to grow without any disturbances.” Continued Solomon

“I am part of history. 2010 was a great year for South Africa as we hosted the world cup. I made my mark by planting a tree to remember that big event. Thank you Audi SA for your tree donation.” Said Tshepiso Mulaudzi, a resident in Olievenhoutbosch.

“This project is rated the best in Olievehoutbosch because of the trainings the residents received; and the evaluations that happened throughout the year. This shows how committted FTFA and Audi SA were to this community.” Said Mcondisi Siliba, a resident of Olievenhoutbosch.

The people are very excited to have been able to make a difference in their community.
