Brethren in Mindanao benefit from backyard gardening

Brethren from the ecclesiastical districts of Bislig City, Tandag City, Surigao del Sur, and Misamis Oriental benefited with fresh vegetables from the backyard gardening (gulayan sa bakuran), a project launched by the Church Administration almost two years ago.

This week is the first harvest of various kinds of vegetables planted by the brethren in their respective backyards as the project was relaunched by the Christian Family Organizations (CFO) a month ago. They harvested tomato, okra, camote tops, eggplant, onions, malunggay, lemon grass, chili, leeks, among others. Jorge Balagosa and his family from the Local Congregation of Mangagoy, Ecclesiastical District of Bislig City, Surigao del Sur harvested fresh vegetables. It was very helpful to them especially these days that they are also under the community quarantine due to Covid-19.
