Dear Friends and Supporters,
Greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support for our project to provide food security for poor families in Leyte. Most of the families living in bunk-houses have now moved to more permanent albeit low-cost houses built by numerous donors and we continue supporting them with garden seeds and tools in order to augment their food and incomes. The garden initiative as we trained them before mainly consist of using recycled containers in the backyard and using seeds from local vegetables growing in the area. Organic fertilizer comes from animal dung and kitchen waste. This reporting period, we introduced to 35 families the growing of turmeric in recycled sacks and containers with the aim of processing the turmeric into capsules and powder. A women's group that we organized and based in Albuera municipality will purchase the raw turmeric roots and process them. Turmeric powder and capsules is in high demand here because of its touted medicinal properties and supply is always low while demand is high.
Again, thank you very much and hoping for your continuing support to this project.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
