In our twin parish of St. Joseph in Medor, that image comes to life. Between January and June, farmers transplanted 40,349 tree seedlings onto denuded hillsides and in their gardens. Thousands more seedlings are waiting in tree nurseries and will be transplanted when the rains arrive. Since the program began in 2010, farmers have planted more than 1.65 million trees, restoring God's creation while improving food security and family incomes. Thank you for helping these seeds of faith continue to grow into lasting hope for the people of Medor. Please pray for peace and security in Haiti and an end to gang violence.
