MAGA (Guatemalan Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food)

MAGA, the Guatemalan Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food, visited us a few months ago to discuss possible future projects.  Later, they returned to finalize plans and now they are at work.

They planted small trees and shrubs, then removed them all.........now they have prepared to plant 4,000 more plants, including different species than what we had before.

They are planning on bamboo, medicinal plants and different fruit trees just to name a few and will total 4,000 plants.

As you can see, this is to the left side and closer to the apartment area. 

It is hot and hard work, but these guys love it.  The guy on the right, is Javier.  You may have heard me talk about him before.

 

The second guy on the right on the left, with the large hat is Obdulio.  He is our main guy with gardening and agriculture.  He is one that also worked with the mushrooms and now is sanding/ refurbishing the doors of the hospital. He is a man of many trades and enjoys learning new ones!

 

When March arrives and the team is here, it will be fun to share the accomplishments here at Ezell.  There are many activities going on and I think that everyone will be pleased.
