This is a note from Rad Hazelip, our “papa” of sustainability:

Yesterday Wilner, who is the Director of the Agricultural Training Center (ATC), held an ATC-extension training session in the mountain village of Peyi Pouri. The whole village turned out to learn about planting vetiver grass in terraces on the mountainsides to prevent erosion and provide a biomass for use in gardens and compost toilets. We introduced a few compost toilets there recently, and now everyone wants one. Wilner also taught them how to make gardens from re-purposed tires, using compost for the soil. It was a wonderful day in Peyi Pouri and because of donor support of these programs; hundreds of lives are being improved for generations. God Bless you for helping our neighbors.
