Free as the wind blowin down the road
Loved by many, hated by none
I’d say you were lucky cause I know what you’ve done
Not a care in the world not a worry in sight
Everything’s going to be all right
Cause you’re the lucky one"
In April, I applied for a Small Project Assistance (SPA) grant and on Monday I found out that it was accepted! Hopefully, we will start construction on the greenhouse and worm house at the end of June. This is great news and I've been scrambling to gather more information about organic gardening and worm composting before we start the trainings of farmers. I want there to be an abundance of information. My other idea is that if this project is a success to implement it in other villages or even other regions. There is an organization that may find some interest in this project and want to start similar programs elsewhere.
My life has been going a million miles a minute and it's been difficult to find time to just relax. Everyday I wonder how I became so lucky.
On the personal side, I've started the BeachBody Insanity program and I have to say it is appropriately named. Next month, I will add in morning runs to help prepare for the 15km in October. My goal is to drop some weight and increase my stamina.
Here are some of the better pictures I've taken over the last month. Oh it's been such a joy and challenge..
