I will also get in touch with Bong, but the vcd if we have spare one may not be that great as a stand alone product as it was used as a back up to the people on the day.

However I am sure it will be able to point you in the right direction.

Give me a couple of days to get in touch with you direct

What a great Idea.. I would like to try it myself John! Can you please send me the information or can I buy the Powerpoint.. I Emailed Bong and asked the same. I want to do it myself first and then I want to help the local people in my area. That is when I get a local area.. I am in the middle of getting a hector in the Ormoc area of Leyte. Right now I am retired in Cebu and have been here about three years. But we are going to move to Leyte. Keep up the great work. I hope I can help others while helping my own family too.
God Bless

The millionaire Sits down beside the Poorly clothed filippino fisherman to try his luck at fishing. The millionaire sees all the fish that the poor filippino fisherman had caught. The millionaire says to the poor filippino.” you are a very good fisherman”. The poor filippino says ” Yes, but I only fish 4 hrs a day”. The millionaire says if you fish 8hrs. a day you could buy a boat & have many fishermen working for you, & keep expanding from there. You would soon be a millionair, like me & do what ever you want with your time. The humble fisherman looks up & says ” I already am”.

Good news today is that I heard several of the people who attended have got together to make it happen.

It is important here not to lopse face, so maybe people make assumptions that if someone else is not doing it, then it cannot work or who an I to do something that others have not.
For example the Sari Sari store here is everywhere, as if one opens another 100 will. so it gets to the point they all make very little money.

Yes I agree with you as a matter of survival schools do teach a little about growing Vegetables, but so far I have not come across the container gardening being pushed.
Also , again for survival it seems they grow just enough in the house for themselves and not thinking bigger to produce to sell.

This is a great idea and I really hope this will work out right. The idea of feeding the poor comes to mind. I have respect for the urge that you have in helping him to achieve his goal.
