The Bana Team received training in Square Foot Gardening. As part of the agricultural focus in the REACH Programs, this technique will be taught to the orphans by the Bana Team. Square Foot Gardening is an efficient way to produce large quantities of fruits and vegetables in a minimal amount of space. The children at each orphanage will cultivate their gardens daily, learning responsibility and self sufficiency as they provide for their own physical needs.
