Dear Friends,
Greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to our project to re-plant damaged coconut trees in Leyte. Coconut re-planting, after more than 2 years that the typhoon struck is being started in a snail's pace. I think the main reason for this low priority by agencies is the difficulty in realizing early impact which is not good in report submission and preparing project monitoring. Farmers also have the trauma already and they keep thinking that maybe the typhoon will again happen and will only destroy newly planted trees. We encouraged farmers to re-plant and inform them that the type of typhoon such as Haiyan seldom happen and farmers are encouraged. Our provision of support comprising seedlings and organic fertilizer added also to their encouragement.
This reporting period, we expanded re-planting initiative and targeted a total of 30 hectares located in one barrio in Albuera Municipality. The coconut seeds comes from our seedling nursery located near our permanent office in barrio Talisayan, Albuera.
Again thank you very much.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
