Meditation and Reflection for Climate Change
Friday, September 20
We were joined for this meditation by Nel and Nihal, owners/managers of Polwaththa Eco-lodge in Digana. After lunch, we discussed ways of working together on our common goals of environment protection. We hope to cooperate with them in their efforts to help young people learn about nature, ecology, and agriculture. During the last few months, we have put ten avocado seeds in water. Five of them have germinated, and two of them have been planted in our garden. Nel, Nihal, and Nimal helped us plant the third. The others will be planted when the sapllings become large enough. We hope that our little avocado (called "butter fruit" here) grove will flourish and provide us with lots of the delicious fruit.
