Bae Inatlawan preparing the check for the Daraghuyan lemon grass project. A hands-on realtime training by GreenMinded, Inc. - 10/22/09 by mary jean netario cruz The lemon grass project is a project that had been identified for the Daraghuyan Tribal Community in Mt. Kitanglad, Malaybalay City. It was conceptualized our of a desire to help the community to be free economically. My journey had led me to UP Los Banos, Geox Farms, AIDFI, the Gold in Grass, and other different farms and communities in the Philippines. Looking for technical information, searching for answers to understand and longing to see the realization of this dream. Finally, we had planted the first seedling. Samdahana Institute has been instrumental through funding the initial phase of the propagation and distillation machine. Ferdinand Cruz of EASTI made it possible too. We have just started, but vision is better now that we have started the propagation by 1,000 sqm nursery at the heritage center. Another thousand sqm is to be planted by the tribe as we have completed the first five thousand and it grows bigger and bigger. Lemon grass is to be planted in areas not use for the vegetables. Six months after, we will start the distillation of lemon grass oil. We will be producing lemon grass concentrate too.

Soup of the Day has been privileged again helping KIN in raising funds for the scholarship of the Daraghuyan tribe youth. KIN is dedicated to raise the needed funds to send the youth to school, at least for the very basic school needs and fare as school is at a distance. Soup of the Day responded to their call for support. I tagged along my son Nico to bake the focaccia bread that we supposed to serve in the fund raising. Friends of KIN attended the program where Mayor Flores of Malaybalay is present. He pledged P100,000 for this activity while friends of SOD pledged P40,000.00. KIN budget for every student is roughly P5,500.00 per student for the school year. As they are supporting 65 scholars this year, some in elementary, high school and college, the funds is not enough but we believe that we can raise more to support the program until end of the year. |

A person must be empowered by those who are gifted w/ empowerment skills to help freeing the person. Any gift must be exercised to realized its purpose. A free person has access to everything that GOD has created for everyone for free. A free person does'nt worry about things because his mind is fed with possibilities but never engage in action that will create injustice to others. The most valuable things in this life are the things that money can't buy. I love the thoughts of changing the world to be a better place to live. Only ONE can measure the impact of your intention. Helping one realizes that each of us has a purpose to fulfill for either for our own higher transformation or an instrument for someone else. Life is so short and we should live within the now. We can not live for yesterday nor live for tomorrow. Life is so short as we must live it to the fullest. There is always a right time. Don't rush things, go with the flow....and be fulfilled. |
