Dear Friends:
I moved to Siem Reap, Cambodia about one year ago with the intention
of establishing a small sustainable organic farm. I began in an
outlying village of Siem Reap. It quickly became apparent that it
would be of benefit to the community to turn this farm into a socially
interactive learning center for the local school children teaching
modern farming techniques in a fun and hands-on way, and at the end of
the day producing and providing the kids and their families with
organic healthier food alternatives as well as new knowledge.
I
call this The Organic - Learning Farm.
Over the next year I put my hands, body and soul to happily working
the Earth seven days a week and I created the farm. In the process I
exhausted my personal finances, but was most fortunate to find a
single benefactor who rescued The Learning Farm from bankruptcy. Sadly
this benefactor recently lost his own source of income and has
struggled to help The Learning Farm over the last month leaving us
teetering toward extinction just as our 125 ducks, 60 chickens and
1,000 crickets are to begin egg-laying and regeneration.
Our immediate financial needs are small by Western standards.
One dollar goes a long way in Cambodia. Any contribution is very
helpful and appreciated. I have set a fund-raising goal here as
required by the crowd-funding application. If I were to actually reach
near that goal of $10,000 there is almost no end to the possibilities
of expansion, diversification etc. that The Organic Learning Farm
could achieve. As it is, we are in a struggle for survival.
I wish for everyone to know that their contribution is an investment in education, healthy food and a self-sustaining better future for the local children and their families. The possibilities are endless.
Thank you for caring.
Thomas Rossetti
