Hope Centre - Sustainability!

Hope Centre starts a new project:
Pastor Leonard Tuyishimire has, in a quest to make the Hope Centre more sustainable, begun a small garden project. The photos below show seeds being sown and protected from the sun.

Young seedlings are protected by a grass covered shade to protect them, once they become established the shade will be removed and when the seedlings are strong enough they will be planted out and in turn will provide food for the family and a source of income as well.
