Useful Traditon!

In Acholi region, there is a tradition of having important discussions under a tree. Community events in this specific place actually often happen under a Mango Tree. This is an ideal location for the reflection period meetings. There will also be several ceremonies held under the mango tree during the project. The first ceremony will be to introduce the project and the team to the community and begining building strong relationships. Another ceremony will be held just before the team departs the camp at the end of the growing season. Old leaders will pass on their positions to newly trained youth leaders. Elders and older farmers will become mentors from this point onwards and assist the youth with any challenging circumstances.
