Thanks to KFB that made it possible!
9th May, was an important day for the 27 animators and staff of the Kfb Project who went for an exposure to Mandar. Four vehicles came from three different directions Lopongtandi, Horomocha and Kasiadih. They met on the High way 33 and together proceeded towards Mandar. It is been a long time since the Kfb team had an outing it was exciting to travel. Thanks to Kfb that the participants could have this safe travel means. They started at 6am in the morning and reached Mandar at 8am. The participants first went to see the Maize and gourd cultivation and then an orientation to the animal and bird world. The variety of mango trees loaded with Mangoes was very attractive and mouth watering to see for the participants.
The Moringa trees with fruits the drip irrigation and the vegetable cultivation. After a good round of the farm the participants sat together and exchanged experience and knowledge between the animators and the staff of the Farm of the Mandar Holy Family Hospital Society. Sr. Mary Gulab Soy who has been trained at the Makino School of continuing and non-formal education, Prayagraj, UP showed the participants the organic pesticide she had made and shared her experience of doing farming. The participants found Mary passionate in doing agriculture and resonated with her in all that she shared.
The participants from here went to see the herbal garden and meet Sr. Lucy Kavukatt. Many have experienced her effective medicines and shared it with others who have equally found it fantastic but never met this wonderful woman who is zealous and committed to herbal medicine. The participants had an opportunity to interact with her and share experience as some of them practice herbal remedies on themselves.
The last place to go was the RIHAA center. This is the de-addiction center where there were 30 clients getting treatment.
A brief introduction to the effects of alcohol on the different organs of the body by Sr. Anna Varkey and a session on mental health by Sr. Sheela Tigga put the participants in a serious note of self-retrospection.
All were happy to get a taste of the different subjects of interest in a day!
