Dear Supporter,
As summer comes to a close for us, winter is ending in Kenya, and the “short rains” season is beginning. With recent daytime temperatures in the 70s and nights in the 50s, many vegetables, especially leafy greens ones, thrive. There is plenty for students to do in the school gardens all year as there are two growing seasons. They especially enjoy the school lunches that include garden produce that they grow.
Last month several schools in the Green Fields program took part in the “Tunda Trees in Action” program. Tunda trees are hardy, indigenous trees that grow in Kenya. Members of the Busia County Universities and College Students Association worked along with the younger students. The theme of the program is “Plant a Tree, Plant a Future”.
Thanks to your donations, these programs will continue to provide hundreds of students with organic agriculture training and plenty of nutritious food.
Regards,
John Roccanova
