In addition to supporting survivors in the revival of their previous livelihood, we seized the opportunity to introduce new skills and technologies to those who were willing to learn. With funding support from The Freeman Foundation and in collaboration with Bangon Mini-farms Project of the Landbank of the Philippines and the Local Government Unit of Giporlos, Eastern Samar , we established a demonstration farm, i.e. a training center and nursery for the residents of the community of Giporlos, Eastern Samar and neighboring towns. The objective of this ongoing project is to train and mentor the farmers on growing organic crops and technologies towards self-sufficiency. At the end of this project, farmers from the community are expected to have enhanced knowledge in agricultural technologies that they could venture into; practice the newly learned techniques in their own farms; and form functional associations composed of the participating farmers that will address the backward and forward needs and linkages of their members; and overall increased productivity of the participating farmers.
