"It is a blessing."
That's how Gerarda, 71, describes the life farm that now sustains her family in the community of Anrabí.
She has spent her whole life caring for her home: her husband, her brother-in-law —who has a hearing and speech disability— and her 16-year-old adopted daughter. When her daughter-in-law shared vegetables from her own life farm, Gerarda felt the desire to grow her own, and that desire brought her to Pan de Vida. Last year she received her multiplication life farm, and with it a new chapter began.
Despite her age, she attends every training, learns every technique, and tends her life farm with a dedication you can see in the results: at least two full harvests, a seed bank, and a garden that was promoted to a Basic Life Farm.
We provided the life farm, the fence, and the training. Gerarda brought the heart and the hands 🌿
When her husband's work is scarce, her vegetables become the family's sustenance. And they are also a gift: she shares what God grows in her soil with her daughters and her family.
"He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." — Philippians 1:6
