The first crop of sweet potatoes!


The first time these awesome young permaculturalists get a fresh healthy lunch at school. The teachers were so grateful as now the students have an opportunity to learn- their concentration level without food was a real barrier to the kids getting a good education starving rather than studying so to speak. No longer! These students have now graduated and will be the teachers in the next school, sharing what they have learnt and nurturing each other with a gentle culture of giving.

Within 2 months lunch was getting closer and closer! These beautiful students do not have any food or water for their entire school day which is from 7am-5pm six days a week. Often starting the day with no breakfast as well. For me it was a huge privilege to give the gift of seeds, tools and some training which empowers these kids to end their own hunger and that of every following child.

In January 2008 we brought training in compost making, fruit tree care and gardens to rural Ugandan communities in Masaka and Kayunga districts. Everyone was so happy to be given the opportunity to be involved, really getting that they can grow food organically and be healthy.
We ran the training at local schools and parents and community were so curious. Many went home and created home gardens.
