How much does one need for planting 100 trees there? Can the donor choose what type of trees? Do olive or avocado trees do well there? Could you plant some fruit bearing trees that could be shared among the village? Or allocate an open food garden at all?

Hello mate :) I saw the people from the non profit and we discussed up scaling and permaculture. We also discussed the logistics of maintaining a large number of trees alive. Thats until they are properly established. There is a nice tract of land behind the not for profit office. It would be ideal for planting trees and keeping an eye on them. There are options of sinking in some heavy duty water tanks (2000litres) and linking up a drip feed system to water the trees.
I am super keen to also plant fruit trees. I have seen some olive trees here, but avocados are notoriously difficult to plant here. But Tamarind will grow as will some others. The rough cost for the entire system would be around 1000 USD. I have 100$ from a donation and quite a bit tied up in SBD (waiting until the price increase a bit more).
Can I get back to you with a project proposal. To include objectives, management, aims and costings? I will make this as a post and then raise money to implement it. This weekend I have off. I have 2 to plant tomorrow and a stack more for Sunday (I have enlisted help).
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Oh hey! You know what would be sweet is if you could send me a google map location of where these trees might be situated on the map. I think that would be so cool to look up. I have a weird idea...I don't know if my inspiration will come to fruition but I would like to lend my talents also if I can. BUT I have more nosey questions haha. How much time can you commit to this project? What happened in your life that you ended up in this strange treeless place?
I want to know more about the surfer bit... Can you teach me? You know I have never surfed in my whole life. I was a mainlander/Northern girl for the longest time and only found myself next to an ocean for the last decade... yet I still have never surfed. Granted we have much COOLER waters here. I think I would have to hit the gym for a few months lol I really just do computer stuff and that makes me a form of pasta I am sure. ha ha. But I watched a couple youtube videos from there and I was floored at the surfing there! Wow I have never wanted to surf until now. So does it get nice and warm in the water there? Tell us more about yourself in your videos ^-^--- Please.
Do you have discord? so we could chat there in more detail :)
I am more on steemit chat than discord.
