They applied for planting in 2012 through Mr. Rosario Scollo, who applied for planting in Sicily, Italy. Lentini is a mild-climate town on the island of Sicily, and orange tree is the symbol of the town.
The Mayor of the town, Mother Superier, elementary school pupils and teachers attended the tree-planting ceremony on 14 April. The children read their poems, sang a song and made “Peace” drawings.
After planting the kaki tree, the children released orange-color balloons with attached messages of written “Peace and Love.”
All ate snacks together, and the day was quite significant for children as they learned intensely about “life” and expressed their gratitude to the tree.
