One of the greatest joys of being a part of this ministry has been setting a goal of sustainability for Fond Blanc and watching it come to fruition. This goal is one that we have been working toward for over 6 years and started with the simple idea of supporting sustainable living at the orphanage. We hired Isaac several years ago to lead the chicken operation and he has proven to be an incredible leader for the team. Over the last few years, he researched, studied, and developed a plan for what it would look like for an Agricultural Revival space on Pastor Jean Claude’s new land near the orphanage. After countless fundraising efforts, planning meetings and perseverance, we have emerged with an impressive and valuable farming community; creating an opportunity for learning, nutrition and of course, sustainability.
Last year we challenged our FBF supporters to serve their communities locally during this pandemic, while providing an opportunity to support this agriculture project in Fond Blanc. Those funds were put to great use as Isaac, along with the students from our school, got busy planting and cultivating a beautiful and abundant garden. They have already begun to feed the children from their bounty and many of them have gained the knowledge and experience of what it means to grow and benefit from sustainable agriculture.
We want to share some of the beautiful pictures Isaac has shared with us, so you can join us in celebrating the success of this ongoing project. |
