Day no matter where you are in the world remember happy it starts within it’s not what’s happening in your life it’s how you respond to what’s happening but anyway I want to take you to the habas Food Forest project and jam byell to Gambia West Africa y’all they’ve been up
To uh so much hard work building the food for us out there y’all we’ve been out there now about a year and a half we’ve planted so many seeds and so many trees y’all it’s beginning to look a lot like a baby forest and a forest is something that’s planted not just for
Today but for tomorrow as well and as they say tomorrow tomorrow y’all a food Forest is to me the perfect way to to have food Security in The Gambia and also in the world y’all if you me plantet seed s today wherever we went like Johnny apple
Seed just using him for frame of reference for y’all that know who he was cuz it’s plenty good people that’s out there planting trees like sister W gar maai rest in peace but y’all trees are our friends friends I love trees I feel that they’re so
Spiritual that they are the lungs of the universe y’all we couldn’t live without trees we give them CO2 they give us oxygen to breathe y’all they filter our air they’re good for our lungs because of a tree I can do that but anyway y’all come with me come
Come and see the trees we’ve planted over there the ones that survived cuz no matter what you do when it’s living some of them make it and some of them don’t but the thing about it is it’s like life the cycle continues y’all so we just keep on keeping on then
But anyway as somebody I knew once said but y’all come with me on a visual trip to the Food Forest project come on it’s free yall good afternoon Mr bu good afternoon my brother as usual we are here again is normal Sunday after watering inspection doing some work
Preparing the oners of the plants and so that they can have more water now finally we are here to plant the lettu as Ramadan is getting closer almost two months in two months time we prefer to go in for crops that we can sell also to
Get money or even to to to to eat so lettuce is one of the crop that people like to eat so much in Ramadan yeah so lettuce is very rich in vitamin A so that’s why I’m here with the team to do the nursery you can also try direct
Planting but I prefer Nursery so you can care from the caring then you monitor from the monitoring then you can do the transplanting then etc etc but so far so good impressed with the team even though we are small today but we are great because we all have a role to play and
We are working together so thank you so much our dear mom for every wisdom please say we are here for you you are there for us so together we can make things happen thank you so much to all our donors we are here to do whatever we
Can do to make our Dream been realized so on that note I thank you so much and thank the team for being with us and we are all working to together now fat water is planting so in the seeds so I’m making the root yeah so you can see we
Making 15 M Ro uh spacing and then maybe 5 to 6 7 m uh sorry cm long bed so that you know at the end we’re going to just cover it lightly uh in doing this you’ll be able to monitor how it germinates because planting also leads you to know how it
Germinates so on that note thank you so much so we are here to learn and the best way to learn is to do learning by doing thank you so it is our cover just is the planter and our brothers they are just covering the so lightly team work team spirit one
Heart one intention one goal so we can do things better always if we accept our mistakes thank you There is no smile better than this so imagine you planted we planted this year and a half almost 1.6 6 months yeah so imagine less than 2 years look at how much fruits are here invest in agriculture especially by planting trees if I want to tell you the importance of
Threes last time I make presentation on the 22 importance of Threes one of them I said they are Playmates please you see you can be smiling while you see the side the fruit fruiting of your even that alone it makes you happy and the benefit is huge
Apart from taking care of the air cleaning the air for us it also give us economic return economic return in the sense that if you sell this a kilo at 75 imagine how many kilos can you get from here it fruits until it touches the
Ground so who can get this in six one year 6 months other than planting a tree if you have $1 in one year 6 months how can you get what interest can you acre on that $1 but if you invest that $1 to buy a plant this is the benefit and this
Is not only for us it’s for everyone sitting there who are going to be the end users imagine if there are no lime in the community and we are the only people having life how much are we making better life for people so so that’s why
I don’t want to talk much about trees but without trees to make it s there’ll be no life so no tree no life therefore habia Food Forest is leading by example let’s unite to feed the Future Let’s unite for sustainability let’s unite to help the innocent generation especially other creatures
That are created by God they depend on us to survive so what are we doing for them if human beings cry we hear the noise but if animals cry even if he heard it we don’t understand the message but thank God alhamdulillah we started Allah Bara but this is not the end
Follow us as usual thank you good afternoon afternoon to all members of another Sunday and we are back to the J jell Food Forest um as we do it every today we did our watering observing our plants and then we did this thing noer of lettu as we are in the cold season
And and lettu is a cold season crop so it have to be GR in the period that you know that it can do well in the Environ because it doesn’t like too much of temperature heat and Gambia is a heat country we only have a limited time for
Co season and like we used to say in our previous videos the monkeys have been uh disturbing Us in the food forest for a very long period of time and finally today they have succeeded in their mission of completing the cavas they have spoiled all our cavas but and now
They have t to spoiling our bananas nevertheless we will not give up on planting because I can say we are in the forest and we are the one that meet them here so we have to cope with them we cannot chase them away we will try by
All me to be nice to them and have nice with them step by step I know they will get used to the Food Forest maybe they will probably stop spoiling our crops today they have spoiled part of our banana but we have cut the banana and Mr
Baji is going to replace them so this is the banana tree as you all can see so today we are going to cut this banana because if we leave it here they will cut it and they will not even eat they will just cut it and put it put them in
The ground and that is a big loss because if they are eating it that one is one can say like if you don’t eat it if they eat it it’s all the same because agriculture involves the growing of crops and rearing of animal for man use
So finally I would like to say thank you to every member of habia food Forest either you are with us in the food forest or you are outside there subscribing liking our YouTube videos and then donating to our page please donate because if you donate like $10 or
$5 person byy a tree that tree can serve for a lifetime and the more the tree is serving people people are eating the tree and it is providing sa for people the more you are getting reward like in both Muslim and in an Islamic way Christian we it is set like three half
Benefit so please donate thank you so much many a time if you ask people to plant trees they always think about oranges mango guava Etc because within two years you benefited you always get benefit from it but look at this B it was planted last year very small so now
Almost my height to me it is as important as any other tree here because we are not planting because of the immediate return but we are thinking about Generations yet on Bard so this is the pro this is the tree that can solve the problem of the future so BBA from
The BBA in those days the back they used to make Rob and the fruit it has a very nice juice Bara juice and the leavea they make powder from it which we are using to make our even carry we call it car here you see so it has a lot of
Value so because of its value we thought it was to start growing them many a time people don’t even grow them because they always say it takes longer time before it can but we are not looking at the time value the life of every tree start from
The day you planted so don’t forget about you benefiting but think about we benefiting especially those coming after us our ancestors as I said this art is not borrowed from our ancestors or sorry inherited from our ancestors but this art is borrowed from the Next Generation
So what you borrow you care it and then you pass it so that whatever they need it you give it in the best way so we started please join us if you cannot do it support us we need your support financially donate your every dollar counts you don’t underrate it if you
