The Wakamy Project
The Arima Foundation for the Advancement of Women and Children will work with four (4) local secondary schools to plant Chaconia (local name 'Wakamy') and 'Shaddock' fruit trees as part of the Green Wave 2010 initiative. The Green Wave is implemented by the Convention of Biological Diversity and in recognition of the International Year of Biodiversity, this project will be planting twenty-four (24) trees in the partnering school yards and in the local Arima Savannah.
Students involved will learn about local biodiversity and the biological and cultural importance of the Wakamy and Shaddock trees and they will continuously care for and maintain the trees planted. Over time, students in the various schools will record and monitor the trees' growth as part of the continuous education and awareness component.
