A Milestone Achieved
We are thrilled to announce that we have officially reached our target to purchase all the necessary plants, compost, and everything else needed for the Arbor Vitae Initiative! This is a huge milestone for The No-Stone Foundation and for the community of Kalbaskraal.
The Journey to Success
The road to this achievement has been paved with dedication, hard work, and the unwavering support of some incredible people. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Stuart, Joe, and Keane for their generous contributions, sage advice and support. Their commitment to this project has been instrumental in making this vision a reality.
Trees Purchased and Ready for Delivery
We are excited to share that the trees have been purchased and are scheduled for delivery within the next week or two. Once they arrive, we will begin the allocation process, ensuring that each tree is planted in its designated location, bringing life, shade, and sustenance to our community.
Looking Ahead: Launch Day
We are aiming to launch the Arbor Vitae Initiative on Spring Day, September 21st. However, the exact date may shift depending on the availability of our VIP guests. Whether it happens on Spring Day or two weeks later, rest assured, we will keep you posted every step of the way.
A Community United
This success is not just about planting trees; it’s about what happens when a community comes together. The Arbor Vitae Initiative is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared purpose. We are planting seeds—both literally and figuratively—that will grow into something beautiful and lasting for Kalbaskraal.
Support the Next Phase of the Arbor Vitae Initiative
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re already looking ahead to our next goal: planting fruit trees in another school within the next quarter. Our aim is to reach one school every quarter, but this takes careful planning. It’s not just about planting trees and moving on; we are committed to ensuring the sustainability of each project. This means raising the necessary funds, setting up proper watering systems, and training someone local to take on the regular upkeep, becoming the “farmer” for their community.
If you missed the chance to support this cycle, there’s still an opportunity to make a difference. Consider donating a tree for the next school. Your contribution will help us continue this important work, bringing shade, nourishment, and education to more schools in Kalbaskraal.
Stay Tuned for More Updates
As we approach the launch, we’ll continue to share updates and insights into the progress of the initiative. This is just the beginning, and we are excited to watch this project grow and flourish, thanks to the incredible support from our community and beyond.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Together, we are making Kalbaskraal a greener, healthier, and more vibrant place for all.
