A recent video shows how students are working to protect their surroundings with help from their visitors

In November, students attending the Presbyterian School of Kabuga in Rwanda were treated to a visit from delegates representing the All Africa Conference of Churches, who took time during a conference on climate change to meet with the students and plant trees with them.

In a recent video (click on the link above) featuring the Rev. Dr. Ndayizeye Munyansanga Olivier, a lecturer on the faculty of theology and religious studies at the Protestant Institute of Arts and Social Sciences in Butare, Rwanda, students in Kabuga are depicted interacting with the visitors and planting trees with them.

“We need individual and global efforts to tackle this climate change crisis head-on,” Olivier says during the video, made following the Nov. 24 visit and posted on the Facebook page of Presbyterian World Mission. “One way is education, which may be one of our greatest weapons for fighting climate change.”
