expanding gardening
Dear Friend,
Greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing aid to displaced families affected by the peace and order problem in Marawi City. Until now, so many evacuees have not returned home as rebuilding of the homes, livelihoods and infrastructure is very slow, if moving at all. Cultural and religious problems hamper the smooth development and transition of local communities into peaceful areas. There is also the problem of patronage politics among the local elites. Despite this setbacks we continue to assist the affected families by expanding gardening activities using the backyards of evacuation centers or the homes where the evacuees have gone. In so doing we provide them with food security via a collaborative effort and partnership with local leaders, outside support groups and the communities themselves. This reporting period we are able to provide a total of 200 families with gardening inputs comprising seeds, organic fertilizer, technical assistance and grow bags.
Hoping for your continuing support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Cooking vegetables
Dear Friend,
Greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project assisting those affected by the ISIS-inspired siege in Marawi City. Until now those who were displaced mostly Christians working there are still in difficult situation. This reporting period, we organized a training program for youth and women on food preparation using the vegetables from their gardens. The cooked vegetables they will sell in order to add value to their farm products. Most of the participants were happy about the event and they said that this is indeed very useful for them. We encouraged them to plant some more vegetables and using the spaces in their backyard and using recycled containers and chicken droppings. This reporting period we are able to train a total of 72 participants in a 1-day training activity. Our resource persons came from the department of agriculture.
Hoping for your continuing support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing aid to displaced families affected by the Marawi siege by ISIS-inspired terrorists. The project is running at a good start with friends and partners like you providing support. This reporting period, we provided ducklings to 120 families with the intention that they will raise the ducklings for the eggs and meat. The ducklings are about a month-old rather than day-old because in our experience, the day-old ducks could not suvive open environment and needs to be taken-cared of in a chick brooding system. Aside from providing the ducklings, we provided feeds and training to the beneficiaries. Per beneficiary receives 10 ducklings each. We ask them to return 10 eggs later on when the ducklings are grown, then we incubate the eggs to produce another set of ducklings in a sustainable manner.
Hoping for your continuing support to our project.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
