Limpopo Province, South Africa: "We worked hard," said Halima Chande, one of the organizers. "But with work, songs, drama, local dances and a good lunch with drinks, it was not viewed as a social function by the young generation. I was so moved that after establishing almost one acre of orchard, these young people did not feel tired. One of them came to me and gave me her hand and said 'thank you for the party', promising to always be a volunteer and to keep the environment clean."
