Simon and Jinky


It is nice for me to introduce another couple of very interesting people very dedicated to bettering the lives of the local people, farmers in their case.
Simon is from the UK and an expert in sustainable organic farming. Simon and Jinky have a foundation and they invite farmers to train in techniques that result in healthier crops and farmers learn respect for the land so that the "slash and burn" style is reduced.
I was invited to and enjoyed a very delicious lunch cooked by Jinky using only vegetables grown organically in their garden.
I hope my students will have the chance to study with them and learn to eat healthy foods and a greater respect for their environment.
Very nice people to know and I also look forward to learning how to grow healthy fruit and vegetables for my project.
