Dear Friends,
Greetings from Leyte and thank you very much for your continuing support to provide food security to typhoon survivors via vegetable gardening. One of the lessons that we got from this initiative is that gardening is indeed very beneficial for the local residents and once they get the skills to do it, they are not easily forgotten and practice is easy. The good thing is that the seeds for every planting season is sourced from their garden plots and there is no need to buy the seeds. The main choice is okra, string beans, squash, eggplant and tomato. At this time, most of the produce is used for consumption and very little for the market.
This reporting period we were able to train a total of 115 gardeners most of them women. We found out in this initiative that women are more keen to do gardening perhaps because most of them are housewives.
Again thank you very much for your kind support to this project.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
