Help Me!

I am starting a new project in my community and I need your help!  I will be combining a basic nutrition course with the construction of 10 gardens for families in my community.  The main goals are to not only educate the participants about eating a balanced diet but also give them the opportunity to accomplish this for them and their families through the construction of the personal gardens.  I hope this provides them with easier access to a wider variety of vegetables.  To be eligible to receive a personal garden, a member of each family must attend every nutrition class.  In addition to their attendance, they are also responsible for contributing two people to help me construct their garden, as well as, some fencing materials.  Your donations will help me purchase a rake and shovel for each family garden, 3 pic-axes for myself (haha!) and the two laborers, fencing materials, and seeds.  100% of your donations go straight to my project and are tax-deductible.

Here’s a link to my project, where you can donate online.  Everything helps!

Thanks!  And I promise to post some action shots of the whole process (including me with my pickaxe).
