This year at CURE, our employees are putting the land at the hospital to good use.  They harvested their first bean crop.  The first few that were harvested were boiled, and we ate them out of the pods. Most of the crop was dried. They were put in the hot sun for a few days. After they are dried, they are hard as a rock. They are then ground up and used in sauces and recipes.

Now plans are being made plant a huge garden including tomatoes, carrots, onions, lettuce, and cabbage. It was so fun to see Issafou’s list of suggestions from all the employees. I think our employees are quite wonderful!
