The Vegetable Garden, or Biohuerto as it is referred to here, continues to produce copious amounts of vegetables which supply a number of our Children's Kitchen. Andrés, who worked so hard in 2006 and 2007 to construct the terraces, continues to work a couple of days a week in the garden, watering and replenishing soil and fertilizer when necessary. His consistent presence acts as an incentive for the women of Cangallo.
A reminder of earlier days, when the area which is now the Vegetable Garden (Biohuerto) was no more than rocks and rubbish.
A great transformation, and a haven for the women who come to work here.
Señora Trinidad, the coordinator of the community of Cangallo, is a very dedicated and loyal worker in the Vegetable Garden.
