As mentioned in last report, this GlobalGiving project has been fully funded. We are so very thankful for good people like you who made this happen! The vegetable seeds you helped send to Haiti have been received, and some have been planted in school gardens and homes. More on that in a moment, but first . . .
. . . did you enjoy supporting our work via GlobalGiving, and seeing your charitable giving provide seeds and training so that a next generation facing great odds in Haiti can become healthy and self-sufficient? If you did, please consider making a further tax-deductible donation to Seed Programs International. We've posted a new project, supporting a partnership in Honduras.

Meanwhile, in Haiti, the always-tricky international shipping process succeeded, but not without a hiccup: an unexpected, unofficial "fee" was charged to release the parcels at the airport - very typical in many countries worldwide. But all the cartons of seed packets did get into the right hands in the end. Lead agronomist Wedly Deceus writes: "I did the germination test, and I decided to submit you some pictures of your seed. All these pictures were taken in 8 different school gardens. Thank you so much for your help."
Attached are a couple photos of these first young plants that sprouted from your generosity.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
