OUR VISION
Replanting is everyone’s business…
Cadeau Vert exists to combat erosion and deforestation in a country like Haiti. It seeks to revive and maintain a stable and healthy environment. By replanting, we can reduce the effects of climate change, improve local economies, and sustain the precious symbiotic relationship between humans and nature.
The objective of this self-supporting program is to integrate replanting into any country’ s culture. Every student grows one plant throughout the school year.
On the Journée Verte (Green Day), each student will join their classmates by planting his/her young tree.
With this program, each participant is important and necessary— from the students to the teachers, and household members.
At the end of each replanting period, each student will have prepared and grown a young tree, with their own hands. Our youth will prove that it takes the village to protect the village.
The School Replanting Program
Piti a piti, little by little
Students will replant in sections of mountains, plains, and valleys. These activities will be facilitated by trained SRP ambassadors.
In only a matter of a short time, students will be able to witness the big reward from their small efforts and their contribution.
No failure
As soon as the replanting begins, one way or another, there will be success. The students, as well as household members, will become conscious of the power of team building for the common need and the common good.
The greatest harvest will be the birth of a generation that contributes to the steady care and progress of its immediate environment.
“But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy”
— Hermann Hesse
