Dear Donor
Quite a bit has changed since our last communication (copied below). Not only has COVID-19 and the associated lockdown restrictions disrupted our plans, it brough into sharp focus the unjust, broken and fragile food system and value chain.
In response to these intense lockdown restrictions and the urgent need of the hour and people, we shifted our focus to food relief efforts to providing the vulnerable and food insecure with urgently needed food aid; primarily to children's homes.
We thank you again for your support which has enabled us to be of service during these critical times. Our hope is that this crisis brings about the required awareness and support for resilient localised food systems that serves people and planet.
Sending you much gratitude, health and wellbeing.

Dear Donor
Thank you once again for your generous donation and support of our project Addressing both Food Sovereignty & Climate Change.
Even though we did not reach our fundraising target, we are still very happy and thankful for the $1,579 raised during this campaign through your generosity.
Needless to say, we will not be pursuing the consolidation and establishment of the one hectare market garden demonstration site (budgeted at $50,000). We are however busy doing a needs assessment of the various micro-farmers we work with and support to determine some cost-effective quick-wins that will have a major improvements on efficiency, productivity and effectiveness for these farmers. Examples of these include hosepipes, wheelbarrows, harvest/delivery crates and various tools like spades, hoes and garden forks.
Thank you once again for championing such an important cause and sowing the seeds for a vibrant and resilient food and human community.
Abundant blessings for 2020!
