The Farm is absolutely making a difference - and not just in my life. I have seen kids who first come to the Farm, without having had nourishment, supervision, guidance, a healthy home, etc. It is amazing to see the transformation in just a few months in what love, positive attention, consistency and routine make in their lives. The Farm also makes a difference in the lives of the volunteers -- we often share about how we are going to take what we have learned and live out the pillars in our lives back home. |

Working at the school has been an extremely gratifying experience. I know that not only our children but our neighbor children as well are receiving an incredible education. Their alternative is a one room school house and instead they are in small classes with teachers dedicated to coming every day and pushing them to do their best. At parent teachers conferences, when I see very poor parents come and talk with the teachers, totally dedicated to their children\'s education, one that most of them did not get, I feel so proud to have a chance to participate in the success of the school. |
