Thank you for your support. It is through your generosity that we have been able to accomplish what we have.
Today we begin the process of hiring over 95 Haitians to prepare the land for planting in September.
This will put nearly 5% of the local population to work in phase one of the project.
In 90 days phase two will occur when we populate 6 times as much land with grass and the two week employment
becomes 12 weeks, at the end of which, phase three will begin and the work will become full time, and we will have populated 300 acres with enough grass to create 6,000 tons of grass.
Once the the land in populated with grass the kiln will go into operation creating enough charcoal for the entire community at a cost savings of approximately $.85 per day.
Your help is apprieciated and needed to make the transition to the next level.
Thank you once again for your prayers and support.
