At the Oct 13 Rotary luncheon at Shadowbrook, the Club heard from Rotarian Jodi Crimmel about her recent sojourn in Haiti.
Jodi showed pictures of the 21 acres of farmland that were purchased and being tested to see what type of crops can most effectively grow there. Crops from parcels of land on the farm will be cultivated by individuals to provide crops for them to use or sell.
They will also be raising geese and ducks. Native materials such as bamboo are being used for construction projects.
Jodi also showed pictures of the John Deere tractor that is being shipped to Haiti for use on the Farm. Tunkhannock Rotary is one of the organizations that contributed to the purchase of the tractor.
