First, please join us in giving a BIG thanks to John and Stacy Devries from Canada! We are proud to report that 55 children have been given full sponsorship for their education. We have 1 in college, 14 in secondary school and 40 are in primary school. These children got uniforms and scholastic materials required for attending and are also provided with lunch. We thank God as the year 2019 is completely covered and we have closed the education project until we get closer to 2020.
We have had some challenges in our banana and pineapple farm as the season has been very dry but the past few months have been successful in all stages. We had to use a hand irrigation system in the garden so that our crops did not dry up. We then collected mulch to spread and cover the ground to avoid the roots from drying up. Last week we finally got a little rain which really helped them so much.
The best news is the entire farm got fertilized with manures. We bought them, packed in bags at the store and transported to the farm. Our helpers worked hard to spread them all over in the garden so that when rain season begins it will be a very good advantage. The only other problem we experienced was the weed spraying failed to kill the grass adding on the double work to put workers to help keep up with the weeds and buying expensive pesticides to spray on the plants to keep the bugs away.
