Tree Love
Yabal was so happy to have the opportunity this year to coordinate the reforestation of over 4,000 trees with the Czech Republic organization Love for Guatemala and their volunteers in the rural community of Chuicutama. It was a wonderful day of tree love as we helped plant trees in their communal mountain forest nearby the village. Deforestation is a huge problem in this region of the highlands so we were honored to help make the community’s dream for a greener future come true! Check out photos below:

It’s everyone’s responsibility to make this Earth liveable and healthy for future generations to come!
We also want to give an extra thank you to the Hasselt Municipality and Province Limburg for their on-going support of Yabal’s work and projects!
