Plant for the Planet
International School of Choueifat - Amman
Grades: 6 - 12
March 21, 2015ISC Amman students have always been advocates of nature.
Attempting to further their achievements in what SABIS® Student Life Organization® defined as “The Green Initiative” sub-department, a devoted group of 30 students took part in the planting of 150 Cypress seedlings in “Balila” near “Jarash”.
As students worked under the mercifully mild sky, they became one with the earth, and all the while enjoying themselves and having a great time. At the end of the day, students were able to lodge their shovels into the dirt, and look forward to the day in four or five years when they will come to this very spot and, in all the literal sense of the word, reap their rewards.

After cleaning up, each student was given one tree to plant and they listened to a talk about keeping the environment clean and green in future.
