The workshops in Chumanzana and Santa Clara continue. This month the women in Chumanzan learned how to make a herbal extract from "hierba mora" that they grow in their patio gardens. The extract contains vitamins that are lacking in the normal family diet. They put the extract in "atoll" a corn drink which they enjoy. It is an especially good way to improve the diet of the young children.
In Santa Clara, the workshops concerning gardening continue. The women are convinced that it would benefit them to have patio gardens and some have started on a limited basis. We are now seeking grant money, so they will be able to expand the gardens - the practical part of the workshops.
Both of these groups are working enthusiasticly to learn new things. If you have any friends or family who you think would be interested in investing in this project, pass this report on to them. We need more support if it is to continue. It is a direct benefit to the lives of these women and their families.
Eveything is possible with a little help from a friend!
