Another special event in the books! Project #4 set out to help heal the Otamiri River in Owerri, Nigeria 🇳🇬
In a beautiful sequence of events, we managed to receive Igbo spiritual permission from the River Priest of the Otamiri River 🙏🏿, to make an ancestral offering to the river at a dedicated River Shrine 🐐, to liaise with and receive plants directly from the Principal Forestry Support leader at Imo River Basin 🌱, to gather 13 local community members at the riverbanks of the Otamiri River 🌊, to pick up and remove 3,000 pieces of litter from the riverbanks 🚮, to conduct water quality monitoring tests & teach people how to conduct them 🧪, and to plant 5 native riparian plants including Kola tree which is a sacred tree in Igbo tradition 🌴
Overall, we did our part, as a community, to help a crucial river in Imo State, Nigeria - a source of water & agricultural abundance for hundreds of thousands of people ✅
Thanks as always to all supporters of Ama & to everyone that helped make this event a success ❤️
