Dear reader,
The end of the year has come and we are looking back to twelve months of sunshine but also of some shadows.
In 2016, we created three new Community Gardens as well as two School Gardens. Moreover, we enhanced the Agricultural Greenhouses Project and the Small Family Farms Project.
We are overly grateful to work with our dedicated project participants and our team, who continue to bring great commitment and enthusiasm to the gardens.
Besides the successes we are so pleased with, we felt the impacts of the economic and politic crisis in Brazil. It has been increasingly difficult to get support by the companies located in Brazil this year.
In this context, we are even more grateful to our supporters and sponsors. You really helped us surviving the difficulties that we have been and unfortunately still are facing.
We invite you to accompany and support our activities in 2017. It is with your help that we can give people a perspective and improve the nutritional situation of so many children and adults.
I would like to wish you merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Yours sincerely
Hans Dieter Temp
