Much is happening around the Foundation and progress is in the air as we look forward to a productive and mindful year in 2012. Some of the positive change is coming in the form of new infrastructure – we recently completed construction on our new car port that can hold four vehicles, including the Foundation van. Pi Sang, our agile, knowledgeable neighbor and do-it-all handyman, oversaw the project and can be seen securing a piece of roofing in the picture below.
Other positive change can be seen over on the Foundation’s farm, largely thanks to the efforts of our staff member Gordon. With sustainability and efficiency in mind, Gordon has taken it upon himself to overhaul many of our previous agricultural endeavors. Neglected chili plants are being freed from weeds and given proper attention, new pipes are being installed for effective irrigation, displaced plants from around the foundation are being transplanted into tidy nurseries, and new vegetable seeds are being gently placed into well irrigated, fertilized soil. Gordon has been using environmentally friendly Indigenous Microorganisms (IMOs) to remove bad odors from animal waste (fertilizer), hasten composting, and contribute to our crops’ general health. In the coming years, we hope to become more self-sustaining and less reliant on outside food. Below is a picture of some farming action.
