Fondes Amandes Gayap 2013

The Fondes Amandes Community Reforestation Project (FACRP) hosted their 17th annual Gayap (which means to lend hands) in St. Ann's Fondes Amandes hills on March 08, 2013. Under the theme ‘No Flames No Flood’ the 2013 Launch of the Fire Season and Gayap was an opportunity for schools and the general public to be sensitized to the importance of preventing forest fires.The day’s activities included DVD presentations, a fire fighting exhibition, animal corner exhibition, drumming and field activities such as raking trails, sifting soil and hiking. Triniview.com was on hand to capture some images from the event.

The Fondes Amandes Community Re-Forestation Project is focused largely on environmental issues, but also on the social issues which are interconnected with environmental degradation. The underlying objective of the project is the development of the community and the upliftment of its residents through environmentally enhancing activity.
