This included proper planting depth, watering practices, and soil coverage. The interactive session served as a valuable learning opportunity, not just for students but also for the community members present, highlighting the significance of sustainable planting methods and fostering collective environmental responsibility. There was also emphasys on the lasting impact of the event, noting how it encouraged students to actively engage in preserving their environment and passing on the skills they learned.

The success of the event was driven by the collaboration of Youth Future Lab, the school’s staff, and the local community. Together, they reinforced the message that climate action and digital inclusion are essential components of sustainable growth. Volunteers and participants, with their shared enthusiasm and commitment, contributed to making the tree-planting event a memorable experience. The initiative demonstrated how Youth Future Lab’s dual approach—promoting both environmental responsibility and digital competence—can foster a more resilient, inclusive community. Looking ahead, Youth Future Lab’s activities at Gatumbi Adventist School serve as a model for how organizations can combine environmental and educational programs to create a more sustainable and digitally empowered future for the next generation.
