PWRDF Advent Project
Our farm is growing!!!
A joint venture between St Dunstan’s and St Andrews
“Buy the Whole Farm” is our project for Advent 2020. This project, in conjunction with local Partner groups, will help communities in 5 different countries improve their food security and become more resilient in the face of our changing climate. This gift is valued at $570.00 and it includes:
Colombia; 5 chicken along with training in organic farming and also in the care of chicken to a group of rural women. As quick producers of protein-rich eggs & meat, chicken improve nutrition, food security and additional income to families. Value $30.00 Also training in hydroponic farming will be given to farmers in highland areas of Colombia where there is severe drought or water is not accessible. Hydroponics uses much less water than traditional farming methods. This will improve food security & give additional income opportunities.
Check out this video about how the project in doing great work!
Please send your cash or cheque to the parish office (St Dunstan’s or St Andrews) as soon as possible as we would like to deliver the funds by Advent 3 (December 13). Thank you and God’s deepest blessings to you
