Hey folks,
Last fall you all contributed $6,000.00 USD to LEAD's
Research Farm which was used as indicated to buy 9 seed packages (corn, cowpea,
potato, cabbage, onions, tomato, pepper, bitterball), 5 bee hives, 10 pigs, 1
'hoop' greenhouse, 1 treadle irrigation pump, 6 'grasscutter' groundhogs. Also,
your support for the last gift catalog built 1 barn for the grasscutters, as
well as provide training for the farmers, and allowed LEAD to buy a used
motorcycle for the farm.
THANK YOU!!!
Teaching outside in the sun or rain is not fun. LEAD needs a
physical space on the Research Farm to actually do the training. The structure
(drawn up below) will have a traditional open-air palava hut style roof with a
room on the side for storing the benches and other gear. Separate latrines will
also be built.
Total cost: about $9,000.
I hope you'll consider making a contribution to this locally
driven effort to provide food and financial security to Liberians. Clicking on
the secure link below makes being a part of this effort incredibly easy. I just
spent 60 seconds and $14 to get it started, I hope you'll join me.

Thanks, Derek
