GreenEarth Heritage Foundation


Last Saturday (20 November 2010), we at Advocacy Photographers were granted privilege to go and visit GreenEarth Heritage Foundation's vast area (31 hectares) of farmland.

Upon entering the compound, you will see the sign in the picture below.


You will also see and pass this short walking bridge as there's a shallow stream underneath the bridge. 
But according to Pastor Renz, that shallow stream rises up during heavy rains. This is the bridge back then.

 

After passing the small bridge, you will then lead to the vegetation area and some huts. Gladly on that day, they let us document the harvesting of some of their products like eggplant, patola, ampalaya, stringed beans, some leafy vegetables like alugbati, mustasa & kamote tops and some other plants they have there.

Pastor Renz, together with some farmers (and some of their kids), also toured and hiked with us, for us to see some of the greenhouses (also farmers home) located in the slopes that were part of the farmland  they're  being taking cared of.

After the hike, they even prepared a hefty lunch for us and the rest of those who were in the community that time. (Sorry wasn't able to take pics of the foods ;-P)

We also had fun taking pictures of the kids who even sang for us before we leave. Here's some of them;





More from here.

If given a chance to go back there, I'll absolutely say yes! And hopefully their plight of crossing THIS RIVER will be augmented with the help from necessary government or any private institutions.
