Dear All Friends,
Greetings to you all and thanks so much for your generous support to our food security initiative. This is such an important innovation here in Leyte because of the multiple benefits that home-gardening provides to the survivors. The benefits include increase in income, combating malnutrition, camaraderie among the gardeners and the use of empty land spaces for the gardens. Our move now is to grow and raise our own vegetable seeds for distribution to the gardeners rather than purchasing in seed companies. The beneficiaries themselves are growing the vegetables for the seeds and we train them to let some of the vegetables to mature and then use the seeds. We are very successful with the youths because they have so much free time and they love gardening a lot. This is also a way to stop trafficking of women and girls which is becoming rampant here after the typhoon.
Again, thank you very much and hoping for your continuing support. Kindly inform your friends and colleagues about us and hoping that they too will be able to help us..
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
