Planting Trees

On November 6th we gathered as TLG teachers and took a couple of buses out to an area near the Sea of Tbilisi (a lake near Tbilisi) where we participated in planting some trees. We spent about 2 hours there putting saplings into holes that had already been dug for us. All we had to do was to get the trees upright and fill in the holes. It was pretty easy. There were a few holes that weren't big enough so we had to make them a bit bigger but for the most part we able to go fairly quickly and planted quite a few trees.

It was another media opportunity. Anytime they set up an activity for us, the media is there.This time the Minister of Education was there with a few of his people and they helped plant a few trees in front of the cameras before they left.

I loved the shovels, they were awesome. They were, what looked like, a tree branch with a flat blade attached to one end.
