Baobab superstitions continue. If you harvest leaves from this tree with the dried okra without seeds hanging, you will lose all newborn babies until you ask for forgiveness. We need more Baobab’s. Savannah Rising.🌳🌳🌳📚📚📚

This week Mankuma school did their high density baobab planting. We planted Baobab trees a distance of 1 meter by 3 meters. They are very close together with the objective of producing many leaves on small trees where the children and women will not have to risk injury climbing tall trees in search of leaves. We hope this experiment will have leaf production in 3 years. Mankuma village only has one Baobab tree so this will significantly increase the availability of Baobab leaves for the villagers to use in their soups or to sell in the market. This experiment we planted 150 Baobabs! Savannah Rising🌳🌳🌳📚📚📚🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
