Vegetable Seeds & Fruit Trees

On the first of each month, I peruse the ChildFund Gift Catalog to try to find a small way in which I can help those who need it. I'm trying to be a bit more financially conservative these days, but I was still able to find ways to contribute:

• Vegetable Seeds Where the Need is Greatest ($74): Radishes, cabbages, beets, cucumbers, cauliflower, spinach, and peppers. Vegetables like these form the foundation of nutrition for children around the world...and they are especially needed in the impoverished neighborhoods served by ChildFund. Families in Belarus, Brazil, Ethiopia,  Guinea, Mozambique, Uganda, and Zambia have requested vegetable gardens. The vitamin-rich produce contributes to a healthy diet and improves the family's income because they can sell the surplus at the local market.
• Three Fruit Trees Where the Need is Greatest ($25 - I donated two sets of fruit trees): Fruits like orange, lemon, guava, peach, papaya, avocado, mango, coconut, and banana form the foundation of nutrition for children around the world...and they are especially needed in the impoverished neighborhoods served by ChildFund. Families in Belarus, Brazil, Ethiopia,  Guinea, Mozambique, Uganda, and Zambia have requested fruit trees. The vitamin-rich produce contributes to a healthy diet and improves the family's income because they can sell the surplus at the local market.
