Day of reforestation and delivery of food supplies in the El Obraje community

Last Saturday, March 9, our high school students joined the families of “El Obraje” community for a special day of reforestation. They began the day with a group dynamic called “Fallen Tree,” designed to reflect on our actions and their impact on the environment.

During the day, they worked as a team to plant 20 trees in the area, involving children and adults from the community. This experience not only contributes to caring for the environment, but also fosters collaboration and a sense of shared responsibility.

As a gesture of recognition for their effort and dedication, the families were given a food pantry at the end of the activity. The 50 pantries were donated by H-E-B. We firmly believe that these types of initiatives strengthen community ties and enrich service experiences, making them even more meaningful for everyone involved.

El pasado sábado 9 de marzo, nuestros alumnos de preparatoria se unieron a las familias de la comunidad “El Obraje” para una jornada especial de reforestación. Comenzaron el día con una dinámica grupal llamada “Árbol caído”, diseñada para reflexionar sobre nuestras acciones y su impacto en el medio ambiente.

Durante la jornada, trabajaron en equipo para plantar 20 árboles en la zona, involucrando a niños y adultos de la comunidad. Esta experiencia no solo contribuye al cuidado del entorno, sino que también fomenta la colaboración y el sentido de responsabilidad compartida.

Como gesto de reconocimiento por su esfuerzo y dedicación, se les entregó a las familias una despensa al finalizar la actividad. Las 50 despensas fueron donadas por H-E-B. Creemos firmemente que este tipo de iniciativas fortalecen los lazos comunitarios y enriquecen las experiencias de servicio, haciéndolas aún más significativas para todos los involucrados.
