This is Siyovle, one of the boys at Castel-Pere, sitting on a tired papaya tree. Our papaya plantation is suffering from the drought. That's why this tree is laying down on the job. Fruit trees need a lot of water to remain healthy and strong enough to support their fruit.
I visited Vilaj Espwa when the crops were starting to grow in full force-- sad to see that nature has not been kind. In spite of the pathetic tree, it is wonderful to see a smiling, healthy Siyovle!
ReplyDeletePraying for rain, and for the irrigation system! Poor papayas! Will Haiti's suffering ever be relieved?
