Team 15, Back: Steve, Middle: Dick, Janet, Ron, Betty, Mike Front: Elizabeth, Ramona, Themba (Timba) our Host Pastor

	This is why we came. To plant nutrient rich plants and help these people fight off disease and starvation

We provided gardens at a ratio of 12 plants per garden. Green Onion, Cabbage, Spinach & Green Pepper

	We provided a minimum of 4 gardens per household. More depending on the number of people in the household.

	Our team worked closely with local people to demonstrate how to plant and grow their gardens.

	In the U.S.A. we turn on a hose. Some of these people travel more than a mile to bring back water to drink and feed the garden. Each seedling takes 1 cup of water twice a day to grow. There are no hoses here.

	A distribution point for many Homesteads. These people will take the plants home and plant their gardens.

	Protecting the seedlings and seeds from birds and heat.

	All the Children worked very hard to provide suitable ground for the schools gardens.	This young man was particularly eager to grow a garden. All of these students get 1 meal per day.

	These students taking a well deserved rest to watch their onions grow

	After negotiating with the School Master, we were allowed to return and plant many gardens for this elementary school.
