Buying Farm Land - Just a Dream?

By Debra aka Brique Zeiner | Chairwoman

A warm meal is a SMILE in the making!

Buying farmland - what a dream that is... It has been our dream for quite a few years now. The idea of not having to pay rent for the small plot of land that we have been renting to be able to grow at least a small part of the crops that we need to feed the children at the Live and Learn in Kenya Education Center. For €5000 (about $5600) we could buy a nice-sized plot of land and be more self-sufficient. We have the many helping hands of the project children's parents who are so happy to be able to "give back" by working the land. But of course, we also have the older children who come to the Education Center on Saturdays and during school breaks for meals and sports, activities and tutoring. They are also more than happy to be a helping part of the Live and Learn in Kenya community. Giving back is an important aspect - one that should be taken very seriously. It gives the children and their parents the self-confidence of knowing that they are not "just being helped" - but are being given a helping hand to learn to help themselves! A small school garden for the younger children to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, berries, and herbs would be a wonderful and fun way for them to learn how to help themselves at a young age - and how things grow at all.

So, our goal is to raise the funds to buy a neighboring plot of land - or at least a plot of land close by -  and for the seeds and fertilizer - and for a water tank so that the land can be watered.

This is how a dream turns into a goal - and a goal turns into reality!

Asante sana - thank you so much for caring.
