L.W. Young Junior High: The Bahamas Agriculture and Marine Science Institute (BAMSI) is making small, but steady steps towards building food security in the Bahamas through its One-2-One Tree Planting campaign. On Friday, the Institute, led by Senator, the Hon. Tyrel Young, Executive Chairman of BAMSI, visited L.W.

Fred Mitchell, Member of Parliament for Fox Hill, Deborah Thompson, Principal of L.W. Young and Margo Fountain, the school's Agriculture Teacher for the planting exercise.

Adelaide Primary School: Overcast skies and light rain were no match for the students of Adelaide Primary School who were excited to be part of BAMSI's One-2-One Tree Planting campaign. The young agri-enthusiasts were ready to get their hands on the shovel and to learn more about the cherry and avocado trees that they were planting. Headed by Senator, the Hon. Tyrel Young, Executive Chairman of BAMSI, the One-2-One team was accompanied by the Hon. Vaughn Miller, Member of Parliament for Golden Isles. Rochelle Coakley, Principal of Adelaide Primary, members of her administrative team and teachers were also on hand for the planting.
