I am very grateful to have once again been funded for the next phase of my project. I will buy pipes and sprinkler heads for watering my expanding organic garden as well as bougainville fence around the property (I will also be purchasing these seedlings). In addition to my organic vegetables, I am now planning on planting fruit trees - starting with avocado, papaya and mango (I am working with a horticulturist and he will advise on others as we go forward). I hope there will be enough left over to create an Instagram advertisement so that I may continue to provide more free yoga sessions for a few selected who cannot afford to pay but need it for their mental wellbeing. The advert should also help drive more new clients for yoga the yoga sessions. Thank you Kavita, Lukas, Julian, Anshul, Jesus, KinHo, Musa, Nataka, Lillian Qudus, Sofia, Victoria, for your contributions, and the Zidisha team for your continued support. Wishing you a wonderful start to 2025, may it be a prosperous, happy and peaceful one for all. Jedida
