Each class was able to plant a tree and should maintain it," said the head of the Solenzo 1 Basic Education District, Jean Marie Toé."I planted a baobab because we can make sauce and we can sit under it," rejoiced Eliane Kienou, a CE1 student at Solenzo A school."Trees are very useful, especially the baobab. When we talked about the palaver tree before, it was under the baobab. Its leaves and fruits are edible," confided Mr. Toé.Source: Burkina Information Agency
