Guatemala 2012

Everything is ready for the trip to Guatemala March 3 - 10, 2012. We have forwarded the money to purchase materials in country, airline reservations have been made, and we have put together a tool kit customed to build greenhouses. Several other opportunities have presented themselves for us to assist other ministries with information and garden seed. Here in Troy the winter has been fairly mild and our cold frame greenhouse at the community garden still has spinach growing.

A construction team from Global Compassion Ministries is on site at this moment at Ti Paradi, Haiti and will collect information and data that will help us put determine better how to assist the agriculture efforts there.
