“At that time, it was with great regret that I cut down the cornfield that shaded the school. Under each tree, the school made a bed and then assigned classes to take care of each tree. At planting time, the mangoes grow well, creating shade for the school yard. Also, in the last two years, the mango trees have produced a lot of fruit,” said Ms. Hung.
