Farmers Helping Farmers Invites New Members

Those Islanders with a special interest in the work of the local international-development NGO Farmers Helping Farmers are invited to a special orientation and information session, to be held this Saturday morning, as part of the organization’s semi-annual meeting. The location is the basement meeting room in St. Peter’s Church Hall, All Souls’ Lane (off Rochford St.), Charlottetown from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Farmers Helping Farmers was begun by Island farmers more than 30 years ago. It maintains an ambitious and highly successful program of community-based projects, primarily in support of small-scale women farmers in Kenya.

Anyone with an interest in the work of Farmers Helping Farmers is encouraged to become a member and assist directly in the work.

Those attending Saturday's information session are invited to join the members for lunch, served by Makenna Ambassa, and the afternoon’s semi-annual meeting.
