The Bacuisito River, which provides water to the community of 22,000 people in Loma de los Angeles, is located 900 meters above sea level, in the Province of La Vega. As the river was drying up due to the loss of trees that line its watershed, SSSIO Young Adults started reforestation of the river basin to help protect the water supply for the community. On Sunday, August 29, 2021, 25 young adults planted 200 saplings in the Bacuisito river basin, in consultation with environmental experts. The project ended with prayers for rain to sustain the trees as well as provide water to the drought-stricken community. It rained in the ensuing days, which was a welcome sign of divine grace and blessings.
