Seeds of support
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) has provided agricultural tools and vegetable seeds to support Kukudu Adventist College in the Solomon Islands.
The donation included wheelbarrows, banana spades, nursery netting, watering cans and a range of vegetable seeds. The resources are intended to strengthen food security during times of disaster while also helping the school generate income through its agricultural program.
Agriculture teacher John Apisio welcomed the support.
“These items will greatly assist our school farm, especially as we have faced challenges with limited equipment such as wheelbarrows, garden spades and nursery nets for our gardens,” he said.
“We will take good care of these items provided and use them to improve vegetable production on our school farm. This livelihood initiative will support our department and help generate income for the school.”
ADRA also arranged for school staff to attend a one-day program teaching the basics of vegetable farming led by representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock.
