Cash Crop of Cucumbers!
With an excellent first crop, these villagers are looking to expand their farming projects beyond cucumbers.
Hello dear friends! Our village champion and his Transformational Community Development (TCD) team of three families started the second cycle of planting cucumbers. New plants are growing! The first cycle was profitable and paid back some of the financial expenses. Now the village champion is planting cucumbers for winter, and we will wait for a good harvest and profit. Next year, we will attempt an even bigger project.
Thank you!
