Dear All Friends,
Greetings from Leyte. Harvesting hope, this is our badge and slogan here in Leyte as we continue providing food security support to Typhoon Haiyan survivors via vegetable gardening and root crop production. We have succeeded in growing our own vegetable seeds from the commercial seeds we bought and thus we are becoming slowly independent from commercial seed companies. Few weeks back, our work is featured in the The Daily Bruin and the link is,

Last Saturday two of GlobalGiving senior officers, Britt Lake and Alison Carlman came here to visit our project sites. From Tacloban City, we toured them to the beneficiaries' gardens in a temporary shelter in Palo, Leyte then after, they motored to Ormoc City and visited one more temporary shelter in Concepcion where they assisted in distributing garden materials. Then they went to a mountain barangay, Mahayahay where we are implementing safe sanitation activities after which they went to meet our officers and staff in Albuera, Leyte and also see our various livelihood showcases there.
All in all, our work here is gaining ground, as we look forward to the first year anniversary of the mega-typhoon come November 8.
Hoping for your continuing support as we expand our initiatives.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
