May 9 Update

Things are still going very well with the work in Ti Paradi, Haiti. Some of the folks there have enjoyed green vegetables produced by Mr. Leonard. In addition he is planting breadfruit and other fruit bearing trees. The men at Ti Paradi are still helping out with the work and we are hopeful that some of them will become good gardeners also. Other parts of the Northwest are in desperate need of rain with many cisterns becoming empty.

The garden at Faith Home in Honduras is producing squash, zuccini, and cucumbers. The tomatoes and chiles in the shade house are growing and look good. April was a very hot month in Honduras and we hope rains will return soon.
