  EACH ONE, PLANT ONE: PLANT THE TREE SAVE THE EARTH On this month, as part of our Zara Charity Tanzania tradition, we planted 30 trees at Kaloleni Primary School in Moshi, Kilimanjaro. This initiative is a win-win for everyone involved.  The school now boasts a more conducive learning environment. With these new trees, students have shaded areas to study and play, making their school experience much more comfortable and enjoyable. Furthermore, cleaner air resulting from these trees benefits both the students and the local community.

In essence, our tree planting isn't just about beautifying a school; it's about fostering a healthier and more sustainable environmen...
