SPECIAL Mother’s Day Event

Don’t just give your mother a gift like chocolates or flowers that only last a week – plant a citrus tree in her honor and honor Mother Earth at the same time! Haiti is the most deforested country in our hemisphere and each tree can make a difference. Plant a tree for a mother in your life for $20 and we will send a beautiful mother’s day card, describing your gift, to arrive in time for May 11th. For $35 you can give the gift of a citrus tree to one of the mothers of Cyvadier, Haiti as well.

When the leadership committe of the Youth for the Development of Cyvadier (JDS) began discussing Earth Day last week, none of the young people had ever heard of the celebration before. We struggled to find the right translation and settled on "Selebrasyon de Tè", or Celebration of the Earth to translate literally.  The group immediately wanted to plan an event to coincide with the international day to celebrate our planet.
