Lemon Tree Trust features on Phonetic Planet
We are excited to share that Lemon Tree Trust has been featured in an article on Phonetic Planet, a platform dedicated to sharing child-centred educational resources that champions purposeful and culturally conscious learning.
In our interview, we chat about:
- the founding of Lemon Tree Trust – whose idea it was and how it first got started
- the weather conditions and general climate in the Kurdistan Region (which sees incredibly hot temperatures of around 45°C during July and August)
- how refugee and IDP (internally displaced people) camps are not as temporary as their name suggests, with many existing for decades
- the evolution of our various gardening initiatives and programmes
- how people grow at their home shelters and ways in which we help people to do so
- the ways in which children get involved with gardening from a young age
We invite you to read the full article on Phonetic Planet’s website here to learn more about our work and the stories behind our initiatives.
A special thank you to Susan Shea for the opportunity to share our story.
