A visit from the Broadhead Optimist Club

This past week we had the exciting opportunity to meet up with the Broadhead Optimist Club.  We are extremely grateful that they arranged for a local hardware store to donate some garden supplies! They also delivered bags of seeds for the community garden, and soaps and shampoos for us to donate to communities in Burkina Faso.

We have been told by teachers in the communities that we're visiting that the children are creating lists for us in their classes!  Students in Dedougou are creating lists of seeds and other items needed to build the community garden as one of their assignments.  The gardening tools donated by the Broadhead Club will help create sustainable food so these children have enough to eat while they're attending school.

We are so grateful for the support from surrounding Optimist Clubs.  This is a tremendous undertaking and we could not do it without the help and support of our families, community members, and surrounding Optimist Clubs.

If you'd like to make a donation, please contact Kim Adams at adamsk@uww.edu.
