creation is a gift that was given to us. but it's also something that i helped to create. i'm in love because it's a continuing process and i helped to shape it. so the question becomes how do i do this in a way that is good. and for what is. one of the barbers shows the european style but cuttings have to be planted. he's employed by bryan him to take care of his property and he'll also be responsible for this new plantation agnes' from helmholtz environmental project. evolved is also a member of the team with a doctorate in agriculture and many years' experience with aid organizations in

africa he's a valuable asset to the project for me. and done for me one crucial aspect was that the people who come here learn from those who live here. that it not be a project that is imposed on them matters to me if you notice it for me otherwise it would be post-colonialism post-colonialism. if. it. is tough physical work is in sharp contrast to the contemplative mood of the previous days. they know. that they're not covered by half of this national when we 1st got here i was

a bit taken aback. i thought we were going to plant the cuttings and earth or sandy soil but it was more like a stone quarry. i never imagined it would be hard labor with picks and shovels what i would call men's work. i hadn't expected it but i accept the way it is. and it's also really rewarding to see you've achieved something that the one who got taught up with the shuffle. work is done for the day tired but scientists find the volunteers return to their camp.

wake up call at dawn the nights are cold. after emerging from their tents they gather around the fire for a hot cup of tea. after a break 1st it's off to work on the way they pass the pump station under construction. infrastructure is extremely expensive i never imagined that drilling a well would cost so much it's really expensive to operate machines out here that's why we want to install a solar panel system as soon as possible. on low cost at least $10000.00 euro.

yeah a distribution of labor has been established some helps others fetch sand to support the young plants. you're. going to. the next task is to get hoses laid in order to supply the young plants with water. so. everybody in the team is encouraged to learn each step in the process. is my wish is to create a forest garden that has a number of levels used for different purposes. so at the bottom there could be beans and then above them some shrubs then fruit trees then come the date palms or the more. you would have these various levels and as a result of this mixed planting and what is basically

a forest garden it is my hope that we'll be able to produce a new microclimate. clanked lima standard. of quality every ethical i mean we've just planted the 1st palm to the gate and i knew it was wonderful like witnessing a birth bringing new life into the desert with us even supposing. it did. the young plants are wrapped in material to protect them from the strong winds and keep them from drying out in this desert region even hardy plants are vulnerable. i keep imagining how it will look when everything here is green turned part of the desert green and that's like creating life. during test drilling they discovered an r.t.c. an aquifer trapped water surrounded by impermeable rock called clay the basin is

being built next to the water pump hoses will transport water from the basin to the plants eventually each tree will be connected to this irrigation system. or not they're going to go out there. and brought him a 100 so has come to help water the 1st bombs a lot of trust has developed between agnes and brought him over there many years of working together is what made this project possible. after both he contributed the land for which he has rights abuse of what we didn't want the project to only help his family but rather the whole gerber community here like the much yet hundreds of them so we looked for a way to make that possible and i drew up a contract with. the berber in juneau in germany. this is in dutch lent us.

the agreement lists everything the berbers contribute and everything that we contribute. and ensures from the start that the entire profit goes to him and not to private individuals of that. water is an especially nice treat when you haven't showered for days. it's just. so it's good that we're doing the digging ourselves at 1st i questioned whether it made sense to spend a lot of money to come here we could have donated the money instead and let others do the work but it's different when you yourself experience what it means to work here and you get to know the people it's opened my heart to the project in a completely different way through these poor yanked out. octavia and vanna carry more coms to the planting site without the dedication of

the people in the group and it would have been impossible to find enough donors. that within a moment of a lot of people have become interested in the project i also sent an email to my friends and acquaintances telling them about what we are doing here i got a lot of positive feedback right away people felt moved to donate. within one week we received around 40 donations. hope. ben. and of course the donors are keen to see how things are developing octavia and van to take pictures of their plans to send back home. after found. more shortly before sundown i'm going to climb a hill to admire their work the number of palms is increasing by the day in 2

weeks another team will arrive to continue planting eat. one day the view from this hill will be a swathe of green. day fall a jeep delivers more palms. over $100.00 have already been planted. the work has become routine some people even find it conducive to meditation. and i did. it as a full mission. with them personally i feel this is closely associated with creation and establishing a connection to the earth i find it quite spiritual. i truly believe that if the

earth was created by god it is also the only way healing or support can take place we humans can't do it on our own. that's how i see it and i know the. same thing planet earth wants some people view mainly as a technological challenge others believe can only be achieved by changing our attitude toward. toward creation. brought him a 100 souls father has also come to take a look he is greatly respected in the region. he's surprised to see women doing what he considers to be men's work but he's also impressed. here

is this is the people here can see that they also love the desert and don't just want to rush across it. they show respect for our home and environment so they're received more warmly. along. the berbers have joined with the europeans to pray for god's blessing on the project they recite verses from the qur'an in arabic. when a spokesperson for the berbers sounds that the project forms a bridge between them and the visitors from germany austria and switzerland he is visibly moved he promises to ensure that no tree is planted in vain as. well. 'd

as a course lot of respecting the integrity of creation is a grand concept but we can make a small contribution by conserving nature or reviving at the start and everything we do here has consequences for the whole world. even if i just stand here and water the plants i think my inner attitude toward the earth and climate has an effect on everything else also but it's all connected so it has a spiritual foundation. this is often and good to him he took when i thought he did i believe even the smallest deed can help to bring about change.
