Odette helps her niece through GHI

IMG_4832
Dear C, Kelle, James, Maddy, Dan, Myla, Lauren, Gehad, and Tamara,

Odette joined Gardens for Health International (GHI) because her niece, Rosine, who she cares for, weighed only 10 kg at 4 years of age. Thanks to what she learned in GHI’s health and agricultural training program, Odette now grows a plethora of vegetables, including onions, cabbage, and kale, in her own garden. She has learned how to cook a balanced meal and is happy to report that Rosine has gained two kilos since the beginning of March.

Located in the Gasabo District of Rwanda, GHI offers gardening kits and nutrition education to families in need so they can work towards better food security and overall health.

Thank you, Kelle, James, Maddy, Dan, Myla, Lauren, Gehad, and Tamara for donating to help Odette grow healthy vegetables that have not only helped Rosine gain weight, but will help her maintain it.
