If you follow our blog then you will know that I am off to Zambia in a couple of months. In fact, off to plant trees in Zambia with GreenPop. I have blogged before about heaps of their events. I tell you, everything about these energetic guys sounds totally brilliant and we have all been dying to join in.

From time to time they have a tree planting days… So we decided that we would like nothing better than to spend a day tree planting. On Saturday, Human Right’s Day, we headed out to Mitchells Plain to plant trees. Well, our gang had the best day ever and planting trees, with GreenPop, is right up there on the things to “add to the calendar whenever we can” list.
