Love Education- Teaching Parents to Raise Healthy Chickens

   

    We organized a training!!! It was a huge success!!
 Below you see Mrs. Giang from Hanoi who traveled to Lang Son to spend the day teaching our families. Mrs Houng the school principal helped with the organization and running of the day's event. 
    Books with clearly detailed pictures showed the "how to's" of healthy chicken and egg raising were given to each family that attended and extras kept for the families that were unable to be there.  Questions were asked, advice given. The guests were warmly received by the families.

I look at this and feel strongly:  together we found a way to say I love you
      Above is the Lunch Bunch 1 year in to our Lunch Project. This is "Then", and below that is NOW!  It makes me happy to see the results of 5 years of working together. While there is always more to do, it's just wonderful to see what's been done.
