Students learn the value of trees. The children share this information with their families.
Teachers instruct about the environment, animal rights, forestry, climate, and endangered animals. The children are very interested.

SOLUTION, Aneal 12
I have headache, am sick, can’t eat, have a cold; feel very cold. I dry myself in the sun, by the lake. After a few hours I am better. I found the solution to my health problem without medication; planting trees around our houses.

OUR HOME, Jacques 12
Our planet is like an oasis in the desert. It must be protected. It is the only source of water.We have to prevent air and water, and avoid deforestation and plant trees. We must protect nature and be thoughtful and caring about it. The earth is our only home. Let’s be aware and act with care.

ANIMAL FLESH, Faida 1
Human flesh and that of an animal is still flesh. That’s why I refuse to eat animals. I got this when I saw people burn a thief. I saw the thief’s skin being burned. I realized that animals suffer this injustice all the time. Let’s save them!!!

COURAGE, Daniel 10
Returning home, I met four children leading a rabbit to “sleep” near our house. Anxious to save this animal, I threw them a bag of ripe fruit. They forgot what they were doing. I reminded them that like people, animals have a right to live. Their consciences forced them to change this habit.

MAN/ANIMAL, Leah 12
Why would a person eat animal flesh? It looks like the flesh of a person; like mine. Would I cut myself with a knife? Blood would flow. Animal flesh is hard to digest and some people die from eating it. I prefer to eat what we grow at home. I’d rather raise and live with animals than eat them.
NEW LIFE HONORS
FISH, Cisse 12
I can swim as fast as any fish even when humans break me into 2 parts. They track us down, kill us, and after they break us into 2 parts, they add a quantity of salt to us to keep us for their meal. These hypocrites call us salt meat. They mourn human death, but not ours. Live and let us live in peace and respect our corpses.
NEW LIFE HONORS
CELEBRATE, Mumbere 10
My parents celebrate special occasions. My mom cooks a rooster and a goat. These victims are cheap and easy to cut. Before and during slaughter, these animals cry a lot and all nearby hear them. Animals reproduce. Their children will be killed and eaten. We must love and save them.

SLAUGHTER, Dieume 10
Two men were struggling slaughtering a cow. This cow just saw another cow fall bleeding and it ran outside. The man tried to catch it and grabbed its horns. The butcher died in the chase. The second man shared the “bad news” with people back home. We must treat animals we want to be treated. The cow wanted to live!
