Here we are the same day we ended on our previous post, but just a little earlier in the evening before our departure.

After being greeted by the children and staff and viewing the new renovations of the home at Atlantis, we asked for a tour of the land. We wanted to see how it might be best utilized to implement our newly acquired information regarding Sustainable Tropical Agriculture.

We started out with a nice walk and view of our beautiful, rich, and fertile farmland:

This is a view of one of our contiguous neighbor’s rice fields:

And here are a few young ones enjoying following us along the perimeter of their home:

This is a nice view of the orphanage home from the farmland behind and slightly above it:

Ah………………we have come to our gardener’s cottage and this is his father-in-law:

And our current Atlantis garden:

But later in this same day, as darkness fell, I was beginning to worry about the contents of this (see the freezer on the lower left):

And the nearly non functional and near empty refrigerator locked away in the children’s supervisor’s quarters.

The larder was empty at Atlantis. And, I previously had no idea that was the case. The Filipinos, for whatever reason, had not told me of their food shortage.

I would sleep on this and tomorrow’s activities were to be far different than I had earlier imagined.

We were exhausted and needed to get some much needed rest. But tomorrow was to be a day of changed priorities and activities.

I will enjoy sharing it with you soon.

Meanwhile, thanks for listening.
