Today, Cassie and I did an intensive garden training at our local hospital for 20 people, in 2 different languages. Within 6 hours, we trained people new garden digging techniques, seed spacing, tree outplanting, compost, and planting trees for a live fence. We were so surprisingly (and shockingly) efficient and effective with our training, we performed this program more quickly and efficiently than when Peace Corps was training us volunteers…
More importantly, we’ve now enabled all local health facilities to provide vegetables and vitamin rich trees for their communities and well as enabled them to be teachers themselves. Not bad for a day’s work, huh?
