A new tunnel for our Hydroponic garden.


I had a look through our old photos from the start of this project and was amazed at how far we have come in the last 4 years. I also realized that till the beginning of this year all our sponsors were from Holland, so I would like to thank again every one involved with the organizing of funds for this project in Holland.


Here is one photo when we just started and the first seeds went in the ground, the other photo I took yesterday when our first tunnel (donated by Builders hardware) was installed by Robin Good on our 7th terrace over the Hydroponic garden(donated by the students of Grundfos).
Thank you to every one who has made this possible, I cant wait for the summer veggies to come up and bring containers full of butternut, spinach, courgettes, Chinese cabbages etc. to the kitchen for the children's food the next day.

Opening of Hydroponic Garden

Last month we had the opening of the new Hydroponic Garden, sponsored by the students of Grundfos.

It was a great day for us, all the sponsors who helped to provide the material for this project were there to see the results.
After Dudley Willer and Maaike gave their talks we got to business and planted with the help of the school children and sponsors the first seedlings in the new beds.

Afterwards Milly had a beautiful lunch ready for all the sponsors and students, cooked with the veggies of the
vegetable garden.
