Ngo-Okthobha 6, 2012, iCanopy, iqela lendawo elingenzi nzuzo, kunye nelungu le-California ReLeaf Network, elizinikele ekutyaleni imithi yoluntu oluphilileyo, liza kudibanisa amaqela eenkampani kunye namavolontiya asekuhlaleni ukutyala i-120 yomthunzi kunye nemithi yeziqhamo. Ngentsebenziswano neMicrosoft Corp., iOdwalla Plant-A-Tree, iCal Fire's Urban and Community Forestry Programme, kunye neziseko ezininzi, iCanopy iya kunceda ukudala iikhampasi ezinempilo, eziluhlaza, nezimemayo kubantwana abangaphezu kwama-500 eBrentwood Academy kunye ne350 eRonald. McNair Academy eMpuma Palo Alto.
Ngaphezulu kwamavolontiya angama-100 eenkampani nasekuhlaleni alindeleke ukuba anike isandla ekutyaleni imithi yasekuhlaleni imini yonke. Oku kutyalwa kuya kunceda ukuqhubela phambili injongo yeCanopy ethi “Imithi Esempilweni, Abantwana Abasempilweni!” inyathelo.
“Injongo yeli phulo kukutyala imithi eyi-1,000 yabantwana ngo-2015 kwaye kuqaliswe ukuvala ‘umsantsa oluhlaza’ phakathi kwabantu abahlelelekileyo nabahlelelekileyo,” utshilo uCatherine Martineau, umlawuli olawulayo weCanopy.
Ngenxa yeenzame zeCanopy, abafundi abangama-850 bezikolo zamabanga aphantsi naphakathi eBrentwood Academy kunye neRonald McNair Academy baya kuxhamla kwiinzuzo ezininzi ezithe ngqo nezingathanga ngqo ezibonelelwa yimithi. Izibonelelo ezithe ngqo ziquka umoya ococekileyo kunye namanzi, ukukhuselwa kwimitha ye-UV enobungozi kunye nemiphumo emihle yengqondo ehambelana nokusondela kwendawo yendalo. Izibonelelo ezingathanga ngqo ziquka indlela yokuphila esebenzayo edityaniswe nokunyuka komsebenzi wangaphandle, onceda ukuthintela ukutyeba kwabantwana kunye nesifo seswekile sabantwana.
Iindidi zemithi yomthunzi ezakutyalwa ziquka iForest Green Oak, Cork Oak, Valley Oak, Southern Live Oak, Bosque Elm, kunye neSilver Linden, zonke ezikwaziyo ukumelana nembalela kwaye ziyilungele kakuhle imozulu yalo mmandla. Iindidi zemithi yeziqhamo ziya kubandakanya iavokhado, isapote, kunye neentlobo ngeentlobo zesitrasi.
I-Bosque Elms iza kulinywa kusetyenziswa i-'DriWater' ixesha elitsha elikhutshwe isisombululo sokunkcenkceshela esinokusetyenziswa endaweni yokunkcenkceshela okuqhelekileyo ukonga amanzi nokonga iindleko zofakelo.
Emini, phakathi kwasekuseni nasemva kwemini, amavolontiya aya kuhlanganisana phambi kweBrentwood Academy ukulungiselela ukutyalwa kwemithi yomsitho kunye nefoto yeqela kunye namagosa anyuliweyo, abaxhasi bezityalo kunye nabameli beSithili seSikolo saseRavenswood.
