IDSA Plants Seeds of Hope

IDSA joined learners and staff of Oukasie Primary School in Brits to plant an orchard that will serve as a source of nourishment and a living lesson in care and sustainability. Led by Dr Jessica Hamadziripi, spouse of the Ambassador of Zimbabwe, learners eagerly prepared the soil, planted young fruit trees, and watered them, symbolising growth, unity, and hope. Each tree planted stands as a promise to the future and a symbol of the impact small acts of kindness can have. As Dr Jessica shared, “We hope one day to return and sit in the shade of the orchard we planted today.” The orchard now grows as a legacy of care, unity, and transformation for generations to come.
