LEAD Training Center



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.

Visit LEADinLiberia.org to learn more or contact me at derekh@partnersworldwide.org. 

Thanks, Derek
