    Our first project was to create a food garden that serves approximately 300 people on the border in Tijuana, Mexico. We continue to expand and cultivate this project along the border so more food can be produced. Our second project is working in Nogales, Mexico working on building the refugee camp with 260 people with 160 kids to have their own food forest, rainwater harvesting system, greenhouse, hoop house and a herbal garden. We are currently doing everything remotely and we have a lot of support on the ground as well. Our third project will be in Juarez, Mexico and am currently looking at camps in the middle-east in Syria. The long-term vision is to rapidly expand this project out to feed 70 million people who have are refugees or have been displaced where the gardens are cultivated by the refugees that are eating from them, creating a place where they can grow food that is important to them.
