Unexpectedly …
… a piece of land was added to the model farm in Merangding. Most of the grafted fruit trees come from Ghunsa, and the resulting wood can be used for fencing and other work on the model farm. We are delighted with the village about the first mixed orchard and hope that it will flourish Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for their generous financial support.

Strengthening …
… local skills and opportunities means training the women so that they can sew the girls’ school dresses themselves in future. After the compulsory part, there is also training for other women’s clothing, which they are of course particularly pleased about. For the first time, the school dresses for our approximately 140 girls will be sewn by the women of the cooperative. This creates another opportunity to generate income but also to sew for the family. Each model farm has a sewing workshop that is available to the women. We would like to congratulate and thank our sponsors for supporting the girls and their mothers.

Grafting …
… fruit trees are now also being grafted at the Ghunsa tree nursery. Almonds, apples and walnut trees are grafted onto local rootstocks. This is completely new for the women, it doesn’t always work, but the first successes can be celebrated. The trees for the new orchard in Mergangding have already been provided by Ghunsa. Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation and the private sponsors who made this possible.

Living and learning …
… the girls from the villages can now live and learn in the new hostel in Sallerie. It is important to us that they not only finish school, but also learn other important skills. Cohesion, organisation, vegetable growing, cooking with regional vegetables according to old recipes and much more. They have now planted fields to grow their own vegetables. We wish you a good harvest 🙂 Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation for making it possible to run the hostel.
