Today we left the school to plant trees.
Students in the two divisions of Sixth Grade "A" and "B", together with the Lord "Tito Luque ", by the Ministry of Culture of the Municipality of Marull, who has been kind enough to invite us to star as nice event, and the teachers in charge of the two divisions of Grade 6, Miss Silvia and Miss Nancy, the undersigned .
We walked in line six or seven blocks that separate school Marull Mariano Avenue, our queridio town and once there we have devoted himself to the task of cutting the wires, put the cubes in very gently previously dug holes, position and align the stakes or guardians to grow straight ... (and there I was thinking of them as small trees, and reflecting on my role as guardian.)
then covered with earth, and finally hung sawdust. He
taste really work and see the work of children with such joy.
do not know if they reach, with its small eleven years old, to gauge the depth of meaning as "planting trees."
do not know if they realized that these lapachos so slender and fragile, they will become trees while they become men and women.
For now I am content to imagine that they are men and women have shaped their lives may be out of town that saw them born and grow up, spend a day on these streets and told their children, with great pride, " I planted that lapacho.
I leave you, dear reader, the freedom to imagine the mixture of sensations and feelings that will arise in these, our students of today, men and women of tomorrow, when the term life and run sap years in the trunks of saplings just planted today.
