It's go-time!
A group of twenty eager faces have arrived at the farm after going through an extensive interview process! All of these girls have proven that they want to be here and are ready to get their boots in the mud. They will complete a year of training, learning commerical field and greehouse farming.
This year is a bit different than in years based, we are excited to integrate some young ladies from a different program of Sandra Jones called ‘She Can’. ‘She Can’ is a program for underaged girls to leave child prostitution and sexual exploitation through the power of education. They are given the choice of different training paths, one of which is now the agricultural program! Our group this year is a mix of girls from ‘She Can’ and girls who have applied from various rural homes around the country; they all have the same goal: to gain an education and set themselves up for a brighter future.
