Vocational Training Programme, Jordan

Our Vocational Training Project (VTP) continues to help the beneficiary families through our orders of their different items which carry special tastes from their cultures and home land. This helps them to generate some income which somehow helps to cover some of their expenses and financial commitments.
 

Dhoker Jhara Village, India

We are working on two villages: Dhoker Jhara and Chandopani. Recently, we had a small meeting when we visited Chandopani. Initially, we were not getting a positive response, but now after some effort we met with some families who are ready to form a community and help us. Some villagers helped us by meeting with the block level person as well.

Mango plantation work, which was started in August, continued into September as well. Mangoes have been planted over an area of four acres. Drains are also being cut around the area. So far three acres have been done, while the remaining acre is expected to be completed in the first week of October. New leaves have started to grow on the saplings and they grab the attention of the villagers.

As in years past, our demonstration kitchen garden looks so good, especially at the time of harvest!  It provides families and our staff with a variety of crops such as cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc.  in the summer and early autumn.

We also invite villagers to show them that it is possible to plant vegetables in their fields and give them some fresh onions and lettuce as a gift, so that we can make friends with them.
