Dear All Friends,
Greetings from Leyte. We are continuing with our gardening activities. In our previous reports, we concentrated in providing you with information regarding community preparation and capacity-building. This time and after several weeks we see a lot of gardens already. The beneficiaries are thanking the Global Giving and the WAND Foundation for the support they provided so that the gardening activities will be successful. They are starting to harvest already since some of the crops have short maturity periods. For example, kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica) a kind of leafy vegetable very delicious to eat matures in just 18 days so the bunk-house residents have access to food already rather than always noodles and rice. The typhoon survivors told us that the gardens makes them forget about the terror during the typhoon and help them clear their minds and forget about their problems. Outmost in their minds is when they will be transferred to a more permanent structure since the bunk-house rooms are very small and alll family members stay together in one small room.
May I ask for your continuing generous support so that we will be able to buy more seeds and garden tools.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
