Our First Community Garden

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

We listened to the people of La Vallée de Jacmel who suffered tremendously from the earthquake who felt that agricultural education as well as the opportunity to learn how to grow food effectively and later on use it as a way to be able to grow healthy food, raise live stock and sell the surplus at the open market was a way to rebuild their lives.

With the help of the Association Solidarité Fribourg Haïti in Switzerland, other angels, and CODEHA – Corde Enfant Haitien, we started our first Ecole de Jardins – Community school garden and plan to replicate it as funds permits in the other 18 villages.

Please open you heart and send us your tax-deductible donation.
