Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Philemon Rakoman, the village president, is watering the tree nursery that is being started in Andranomena. Because the climate is so dry, it takes a lot of work to grow seedlings, vegetables, etc. Native trees must be planted at a certain time of year because they have adapted so they're dormant during the long dry season.
