The exercise took place at Phalombe Parish where close to 100 YCW members, parishioners at Phalombe Parish and the clergy participated in the exercise.

Speaking on behalf of the youths, the Vice President of YCW Blantyre Archdiocese said the tree planting activity is an annual event and this year they chose Phalombe Parish as they want to ensure that each of the eight districts which make up the Archdiocese of Blantyre is well conserved and protected.
He thanked the members for positively responding to the plea from the executive to buy the tree seedlings. “We have planted over 1000 seedlings today. It is our hope that these trees will help secure the environment here in Phalombe and that the community here will take care of them," the Vice President said
