The journey wasn’t without challenges. First, they faced difficulty gathering enough volunteers for the labour work. Then, disagreements arose over which land should be used for planting. Through these setbacks, the community came together, talked through the issues and adjusted their plans.
Their perseverance paid off. They successfully planted the pepper saplings and installed fencing to safeguard the young plants.
"This initiative not only fosters unity but also establishes a foundation for long-term support for local schooling needs. "
said our partners, Asha Kiran Society.
With the income raised, 61 children in the Hanumal community can continue to learn in their village school.
