the gift that keeps on giving

November 16, 2007 by Erin

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my nutrition education program in Honduras has continued. A wonderful peace corps health volunteer is leading the project and incorporating the help of the new volunteers that arrive with the program I volunteered with. In an effort to make the project more sustainable without indefinite help and donations from foreign countries, the current volunteers are planting a garden to help keep these valuable foods available for the women staying at the albergue. We need some extra donations to help cover the initial input cost of the garden. The volunteers have had to purchase calcium deposits, fertilizer, compost, and small trees. Many of the volunteers from the program I went with have donated their own personal money, but I would love to be able to solicit some more donations for the project. The volunteers are getting the seeds, workers, and few other things for free, but the project could really use another 150 dollars or so to help cover the costs of the trees and plants. Please click on the water and sanitation health website to donate. Specify that your donation is for the infant mortality project in La Esperanza. Check out the pictures to see the progress on the garden so far.
