Health for Haiti students planted these tomatoes in 2018.
The tomatoes and okra planted by the 2018 Health for Haiti class are being picked and enjoyed by the schoolchildren in Grande Saline. There are also beans, corn, peppers and eggplant growing in the gardens. The produce is providing a healthy lunch for the children, and the gardens are a source of pride and education for the students.
The school principal reports: “The children are having a wonderful experience in the garden. It is a great thing for our school and our community. Many people from the community come to visit the garden to see the good things we are growing. Each person who sees the beautiful garden congratulates us on our project.”
After all the success with the gardens, the children are now thinking about how to add some school goats and chickens to the project.
