Family to Family Corn Project

 Family to Family Corn Project

We are initiating a Family to Family Corn Project on our website.  You can check it out at welcomehand.org or sustainablefamilies.group.

There are 13,000 farm families in the Cahabon District.  They are spread all over these mountains and hills, in 202 villages.  Each village has an official leader (chief), and they are encouraging the farm families to sign up on the Cahabon Corn project.  They will each receive one bag of fertilizer, and then they must return 25 lbs of harvested corn at the end of that planting season.  Last year the Cahabon District signed up 5,000 families.  They have hoped to increase it to 9,000 families this year, but the many problems caused by Hurricane Eta have used up many of the resources of the District.  They are looking for support to add more families to the project, and help them work toward a sustainable farming situation.

We are looking for 2,000 families that will share enough money to buy a bag of fertilizer for a family in Guatemala, in the Cahabon District.

Our deadline is April 1st -- because they have to know how many families to order the fertilizer for -- so they can plant for this growing season.  

This project is being managed by the Cahabon District Association.  Robert is the Agronomist and Marketing Consultant for the group.  We believe this project could go a long ways toward developing relationships of trust in this community, among these special people.

Please pass this information on to your family or friends, and urge them to check out this project on welcomehand.org or sustainablefamilies.group.

Love you all
