We feel very privileged to be able to take some time to plant some mangrove seedlings to help with coastal erosion in Korotogo Village recently. Planted at low tide directly into the sand, the seedlings don't take long to take hold.

Mangroves are vital in protecting the coastline from tidal erosion. They cushion the force of raging waves along the coastal forshore. Roots of mangrove help keep the water clean and provide fish and other sea life with an ideal environment for laying their eggs and raising their young. Just like any other forests, mangrove forests inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen back into the air.

Thank you Korotogo Village for letting us be a part of this project.

I recently attended Korotogo Methodist Church Maintenance Project Fundraising Breakfast put on by the entire village to raise money to replace the Church roof. Set up under a huge red tent,

each household within the village provided part of the breakfast with an array of local fruit, muffins, traditional curry dishes, rice, tea and coffee. The goal was to raise $20K from the sale of tickets and with the help of locals, guests, and people from surrounding villages, they raised enough to get a new roof! This was an amazing morning and thank you for allowing us to be a part of such an important breakfast.
