Advocacy at Work!

"We have our hands, but until we connect our minds to tell our hands what to do, our hands cannot reach their full potential." - Representative of Matola district

Tremendous successes today with the President and representatives of the Association of Community and Social Development of Matola and surrounding districts. Today we connected the 33 represented districts through the Association to Project Rx and our agricultural education. The feedback from these representatives was of overwhelming gratitude and excitement about introducing the Project Rx farming program into the villages they represent.

Several of their comments were of thanks that there is finally a guide that can teach their people how to grow in a more organized manor. They are well aware that Mozambique has the utmost potential for farming due to the vast amounts of water and arable land. They are very eager to learn our permaculture gardening ways and educate their villages.

Next week Tuesday we have an official training together. We will get down and dirty together, planting food for the future. I'm so pleased that we can do this just before I hop a plane back home. :) Wish me luck!

Creating Connections

I'm back in Mozambique and I have six weeks to create as many connections as possible. The objective is to meet with as many organizations and community-based efforts to hand over Project Rx resources. Our hope is to help enable organizations to utilize Project Rx's research to do numerous projects across Mozambique and in surrounding areas.

Our growing guide is now live online for all those that would like to see what we have to provide to equip organizations on how to start a sustainable farm.*
