Well, today I am very excited about traveling to Kwandebele to learn about eco-gardening. Eco-gardening is an economical way of gardening that allows you to grow large amount of foods in small circular spaces. Our garden will consist of potatoes, carrots, beans, peanuts, onions, lettuce and beetroots. I will be trained for 3 days on the basics of how to create and sustain an eco-garden. The objective of this trip is for me to learn and then go back to the township of Katlehong to teach and help the residents learn how to create and maintain their own gardens. We want to teach the residents of Katlehong how to be self-sufficient. I imagine there must be a great fulfillment in eating vegetables that you have planted in your own garden.
The thought of using the God given resource of the earth to grow and provide food for those who otherwise would not able to afford it, is motivating. This is the first time that I will learn how to grow crops. So, please pray that I will retain all the information in such a way that I will be able to teach it to others with clarity.
Grace alone!
