Taking Care of the Earth
"You see, I am a poor peasant. A tiny ant plagued me. I had tried using chemicals, but that hurt the soil. Through CARE, I saw the success of the other farmers and replicated it on my land. With groundcover, I save some time. I no longer spend hours pulling out weeds or cutting back brush. I can take care of the harvest. And I take care of the earth."
An Outdoor Classroom
We were hiking downhill this time, through dense vegetation deep in the jungle. As we walked through papaya and banana trees, crude signs marked with names of plant varieties became apparent. This was Jorge's classroom, where he brought farmers in the community to show examples of new techniques.
