Benson Institute Food Production Project

One of the several LDS Charities programs we are attempting to START here in the Philippines is the Benson Institute Food Production Project among Elementary School children and their Families. To improve and round-out their daily nutrition in each of these families. Brother, Sister, Mother, Father & Grandparents too - all involved & having FUN doing it !!! We have called a senior, service missionary couple the Gorrieta's, from Cavite to mentor, oversee and manage this program, as it develops. As a START we have partnered with an existing NGO, IIRR to learn more and see HOW THEY ARE DOING IT? These projects would at first be only around the Greater Manila Area and be either Urban (See pictures) or Rural versions of home gardens. You grow what you will eat, it is nice you can grow food nearly all year long, year round. Using proper, natural fertilizers, with little negative impact on the environment and taking proper care of your growing soil, all makes doing this totally worthwhile. Wish us well as we start!
