Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project initiating the planting of vegetables in backyards of households where residents escaping the violence in Marawi City has evacuated. Until now the rehabilitation of the city is very slow and there is an urgent and coninuous need of providing food for the evacuees. Gardening is a welcome respite for them since it is easy to do and does not need much capital to start one. This reporting period and in partnership with a local partner we are able to launch a vegetable and small farm development training with mostly youth participants numbering 120 and divided into 4 batches of 40 trainees per batch. After the training, we distributed vegetable seeds and small garden tools to them so that they can start immediately their home project.
Hoping for your continuing support to this initiative.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous dontion to our project assiting with backyard gardening poor families affected by the siege in Marawi City. Until now, rehabilitation of the damaged city is very slow because of various problems and many of the evacuees are still staying in evacuation centers or their relatives. We focus our attention to those staying with their relatives because they have space where they can implement gardening activities. This reporting period, we assisted 120 beneficiaries prepare their garden produce in such a way that they are nice to eat as well as presentable in order to give value added to their products and with the eye to selling among their neighbors. A lowly herb like mint and holy basil can be made into tea and taro root crop can be cooked deliciously. We took photos of our menu and present these to other beneficiaries so that they will be inspired too.
Hoping for your continuing support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Training children
Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous donation providing support in terms of gardening to those affected by the ISIS-inspired terroristic act in Marawi City. This project reporting period we focused our efforts to teaching children how to grow vegetables by using local recycled materials around the house such as containers, plastic, sacks and kitchen waste for organic fertilizer. We provide vegetable seeds and small garden tools that the trainees will use in their gardening activities. This is beneficial to them because it makes the children happy and productive and the vegetables that they grow they can use for their food and the surplus for sale in the market. We can see that the children participating in the project are happy and motivated and they are helping each other in taking care of their gardens. We were able to provide training and initial inputs to 73 children in this manner.
Hoping for your continuing support to our initiative.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora Sayre
