Our program has greatly expanded from the mostly hands-on student learning of basic garden methods, just in the plot at the colegio, to our work with practicing farmers in the small, isolated communities at distance from the fairly city-like town of Nueva Palestina, the location of the parish church and facilities.
And our hope, based still on the FAO-PESA orientation, is to emphasize community leadership, not just on corn production or garden crops, but to include new ideas, including family financial savings and management, additional sources of family income, safe and appropriate use of agricultural chemicals, etc.
Since in many if not all of these same communities we are supporting students, and family health, and maybe improvements for health (floors, roofs, latrines) when feasible I hope there will be overlap across other of our supported programs there.
