Moringa promotion
Dear Friend,
Thank you very much for your support to our project providing food to hungry and malnourished children. We are very thankful of your continuing support as we try to reach-out to more children at the onset of the El Nino phenomenon. This severe dry season is sure to make farming more difficult and uneconomical and our farmers and their families will suffer. This reporting period we are promoting the growing of moringa for its high nutritive value. Moringa is the best for children and this can be used as vegetables or ground and mixed in bread and other cooked food. It is also very easy to grow and nuture thus our aim of popularizing and promoting this. Twenty families have planted moringa in their backyards already. Hoping for your continuing support to our initiative. Thank you very much.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora Sayre

Trench gardening
Dear Friend,
Warmest greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to our project providing food to hungry and malnourished children. We found out that one of the easiest way in order for food supply is for local villagers to plant vegetables in small plots in their homes. Vegetables are easy to grow, seeds and organic fertilizer are always available and farm tools to be used most of farmers already have. This reporting period we continue to provide guidance on how gardening can best be done by farmers and one of the ways is by using trenches in order for fertile soil not to be easily washed away. We were able to demonstrate and conduct 1 training using this method with 35 farmer-leaders and we informed them to also teach their neighbors. Hoping for your continuing support. Thank you so much.
Very sincerely yours,

Continuing seed production

Developing seed source
Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to our initiative providing food to hungry and malnourished children. This reporting period we continue developing a 2 hectare area into vegetable seed production site so that we grow our own seeds from the mature vegetables that we grow and then with the seeds we will distribute them to our farmers on a small payment basis. We ask for small payments this time because in the past our approach of just giving away the seeds do not work well because there is no importance attach to it. The seeds that we distributed just end up hidden in the nooks of their huts or even thrown away. Before we also used to purchase vegetable seeds but we think that this system is not sustainable in the long run that is why we start to grow our own. Hoping tha we will succeed in this endeavour. Thank you very much for your help.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora Sayre
