Today 3 of us went over to Chukumuk in a loaded pick up truck. We had the 4 new tables for the Basico cooking and sewing program as well as 35 Chaya plants from Curtis’s organic garden. It is really expensive to hire a truck so you have to make sure it is full.It is a 2 hour drive on very bad roads to the village.
The first family we visited is going to get a new garden in the coming months. Sam is meeting these families and working out the best way to put in a garden. We are looking at putting in raised beds so the rains will not effect the plants. Sam is going to try square foot gardening to help increase the yield. This family is a grandma and her 2 grand children. The students are often very ill as they do not have a lot of food to eat. They are excited about getting fresh organic vegetables from their new garden. They really like that Sam is going to help them.
We had a large bottle of vitamins for this family. Hopefully Vilma will not be sick all year again. This is a family that we hope to get an onil stove for in the future as they cook on the ground. All the families we visited received a chaya plant.
We next visited a family that had a garden but the mom left the family and took the garden wire. You need wire to keep peopleĀ from stealing your vegetables and to keep chickens and dogs out. This family also received a big bottle of vitamins for all the children in the family. As we visit the families we are organizing key chains to be made as we sold all our supply.
We continued visiting families to see how their garden were doing or to show Sam the next families to receive gardens. We visited some of the gardens Sam has been working on and they were doing great.
