Despite GlobalGiving's continuing difficulties with disbursing funds to India, we were able to train 12 more young farmers in techniques to increase crop yield even in difficult climatic conditions. The Forest Department was able to offer them workshops to teach them:
They made plans to start their own seed bank after learning how one can help improve resistance to emerging plant diseases and insects, provide better drought and flood tolerance, and produce more abundant and nutritious crops.
The Ranger Office said he was inspired to see young people committed to organic farming, and the students said they were inspired by how it could improve their lives and their community.
We are eager to help them put what they have learned into practice, with your kind and continuing support, as soon as GlobalGiving is able to release your donations to us.
With the gratitude of the entire Voice Trust team --
