WeLoveU members in Queretaro, Mexico,
arrive at Andres Balvanera Primary School with excited faces.
Today, they are making the children’s dream site greener by planting trees.

While the school was closed due to COVID-19, the garden trees withered,
and restoration has yet to be completed.

The Department of Education of Queretaro State,
which had plans to repair the school facilities and replant trees, reached out
to WeLoveU for assistance after learning about its Mom’s Garden Project.

On June 2, WeLoveU members carefully planted 50 saplings,
including glossy privet and pomegranate trees, which thrive
even in challenging environments and will grow tall enough to take care.
Officials from the Department of Education
and the Department of Agricultural Development of Queretaro State,
along with over a dozen children, joined in to help restore the school garden.

“Since last year, teachers, students, and parents have worked together to improve the academic environment through the ‘With Schools’ program. Planting trees is one of them. I believe that activities like the Mom’s Garden Project can change the world. You’ve set an inspiring example for our children, helping them grow into people of good deeds. I hope that your positive energy and passion will continue. Thank you very much.”
