Our small food garden project has been so successful! Children have their hands in caring for the gardens and are helpful in preparing the crops for the kitchen. There are several varieties of vegetables planted in this garden.
We continue to fight agaist hunger and have plowed land to prepare for more gardens. The gardens will produce much needed food for the orphanage, kids at the school and HIV+ women. Some of the crops will be sold to cover the additional costs in some of our other projects.
The last harvest provided some money for porridge for the HIV+ children at the school. Some of the children were not active in class due to hunger. Childen were collapsing in class and could not concentrate well. The porridge was introduced so they can be attentive in class. The porridge also helps the medication work better. Our parnter is sure that the food from the garden will sustain the porridge progam.
Our teams here at the American Foundation for Children with AIDS and our partners in Africa thank you for supporting this project and the work we do for the children in in our programs. If you would like to learn even more about what we do or how you can meet some of the children you have helped, please contact Tanya Weaver at tweaver@AFCAids.org.
