Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing food to families affected by the El Nino severe climate change. After the long months of dry condition we are now experiencing tropical depressions lining-up and affecting much of the country. This month alone we have 2 tropical depressions with TD Falcon bringing flash-floods in low-lying barrios. One of our approach to provide long term incomes and livelihoods to poor families is in growing high-valued crops whose fruits command high price in the market and are resilient to severe climatic change. One of these is the dragon fruit whose fruits is highly priced here. Being a cactus plant, the dragonfruit can survive extreme weather events. Thus this reporting period, we are promoting in social media one of the model farms dedicated to dragonfruits and then enlisting farmers to grow them. Hoping that this new venture will succeed. We aim to develop a cooperative and grow 200 hectares of this crop the next 12 months.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
