seed preparation
Dear Friend,
Thank you very much for your support to our project collecting and producing heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds as opposed to hybrid varieties provide long-term benefits to farmers. This time around with the start of the rainy season is great for the collection and growing in the nursery of heirloom seeds in preparation for distribution to farmers. We are able to collect 5 types of seeds and these are grown in our small seedling nursery. Aside from our team, we enroll government agriculture and forestry technicians to help us. We intend to expand this initiative in the coming months. Thank you very much for your kindness and generosity.
Very sincerely yours,
Cesario Sayre

Growing heirloom varieties
Dear Friend,
Thank you very much for your donation to our project heriloom seed collection. Heirloom seeds are important for biodiversity improvement but they are not well recognized by authorities as such. Some of the heirloom seeds are difficult to find thus the need to grow them and then distribute seedlings and planting materials to farmers. The need is indeed urgent and important and we are focusing on trying to secure difficult to find heirloom seeds. We are allocating a hectare of farm just for this purpose and to date we have already 5 different kind of vegetables, legumes and fruit trees growing. We are adding more as we find more heirloom seeds. Sometimes they are available in the locality and this is indeed good news. Hoping you will continue to support this initiative. Thank you very much.
Very sincerely yours,

Multiplying local plants
Dear Friend,
Thank you very much for your support to our project producing heirloom seeds so that farmers can avail of it. This is very important because what is lacking in farm production are high quality seeds and those in the market are very expensive and are of the hybrid varieties. We need to produce and multiply local seeds and seedlings and one way to do this is to grow mother plants where we can get planting materials later on. We will train farmers also to grow and multiply their own sources of seeds and seedlings and in so doing expand our efforts. We are very excited about this work because of the promise of food security for poor farmers. Hoping that you will continue to support us. Thank you very much.
Very sincerely yours,
Cesario Sayre
