2.4. 1 September – Arbor Day Celebration – 500 Trees

Second Evaluation

The second evaluation of the event held on 01 September 2010 took place on 29th November 2010. The community residents were still overwhelmed about the free trees they received from Audi SA, and they had all good reasons to look after their precious gifts.

“We water our trees twice a week inorder for us to save water.” Said Sophia Mlambo.

“Since I was taught to use mulch, I have never stopped using it. I also have a beautiful garden and this mulch helps me to save water and to keep the soil wet.” Said Lucky Mndebele, a proud community member of Olievenhoutbosch.

The residents appreciate this greening project, and believe that more knowledge had been acquired as this project continues.

Though in some houses people are not mulching their trees, they agreed that this project is the most skill - empowerment project that has ever happened in their community.
