On November 11, 2025, Fondasyon Luc Innocent pou Devlopman Lakay organized a memorable Mango Seedling Planting Day & Training in Figuier, Anse-Rouge. With the participation of an agronomist, schoolchildren, teachers, and families, the foundation planted 34 mango seedlings on the property of Luc Innocent and his parents — honoring his legacy while sowing seeds of hope for the future.

Educational Training at the Public Primary School of Figuier Anse Rouge, Haiti 

The day began at the Public Primary School of Figuier, where an agronomist delivered a dynamic training session covering:

– the importance of fruit trees

– the value of mango seedlings

– environmental protection

– long-term community benefits

The children listened attentively, excited by the idea that the trees they plant today will feed families tomorrow.

Mango Hands-On Planting at the Property

After the training session, participants continued to the prepared land at Luc Innocent’s home. Led by the agronomist, about 12 mango trees were planted in the property’s yard garden.

The remaining seedlings were distributed to selected households near the school and throughout the village. 

Lunch, Drinks, Entertainment & Community Joy

Following the planting session, everyone enjoyed a shared meal of food and juice, followed by entertainment and games. Parents expressed gratitude:

– children ate well

Many families shared that their children often have only one meal per day, making this moment especially meaningful.

Supporting the Local Economy

To reinforce economic development, the foundation intentionally purchased and rented items within the community:

This brought revenue and support to local businesses, strengthening community ties.
