Dear Friends,
Greetings from Leyte and thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative to provide food security to survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. This is indeed one of our initiatives generating huge success and international organizations working here in Leyte keep contacting us how we implement low-cost, sustainable backyard gardens and using open-pollinated varieties that can be re-used again and again thereby sustaining the whole process. They want also to learn how how we make our own organic fertilizer and indigenous microorganisms that are beneficial for the growth of the plants. Last year we raised vegetable for their seeds and for distribution to gardeners. This time also as we expand our target villages and beneficiaries we are again raising vegetable seeds in partnership with local progressive farmers. We are raising for distribution okra, mung-beans, squash, string beans and root crops such as cassava and sweet potato. We target 1,300 more gardeners by start of the rainy season in late May.
This time too we are very excited to participate in the GlobalGiving matching fund in which all donations to selected projects for Typhoon Haiyan will be matched 100%. Hoping that you will donate more and inform your colleagues about this singular opportunity. The link is,

Again thank you very much for your kind support.
Very sincerely yours,
