We Have Decided
I read your story in Guideposts. In Ft. Myers, Florida a 'teaching farm' called ECHO is doing a great job of teaching/training people how to farm & what to plant in their areas. The climate in this area of Florida is very similar to many areas of Africa. They only use tools/equipment that would be available in that area of Africa. It is a marvelous facility doing God's work.
Thank you, Pauline Knight
