Tree Planting Advent - CDO Community



Part of the outcome of our regional assembly in Cagayan de Oro, was our advent practice as a region. One of the significant acts we committed ourselves to do during advent was tree planting as a concrete step in caring for the environment. 

We organized a trip to the farm of Delsa Mortola, one of the members of Namaste. She has a mini forest and a corn field in Maambong, Libona, Bukidnon, an hour drive from CDO. So there we spent a day communing with nature, with the view of Mt. Kitanglad at the horizon and sighting an eagle flying in the air by chance. What a rare moment!   Here is the CDO community planting 17 eucalyptus seedlings. Hope they will all grow up to maturity.

Have a fruitful and joyful year!
