The oven will be completed by July, 1998. Additional ovens are needed in order for the women to establish a bakery. This bakery will assist in self-sufficient economic development. If you would like to underwrite or contribute to the cost of an oven which is $350, please contact Dr. Beryl Dorsett Vegetable Garden During our visit in December, 1997, we learned that women who had multiple births were only able to nourish one infant due to the lack of a balanced nutritional diet. In each case, the second child died. The basic diet consists of meat, fish, and starchy foods. In March, 1998, women were introduced to the need for green vegetables. A donation of a variety of 30 different seeds to grow green and yellow vegetable including collard greens, peas, okra, kale, carrots, etc. was made. The women identified an area to plant these seeds so that they may be ready to harvest by July for a cooking demonstration. Apatrapa Health Care Center Contributions were received from members of NED and friends for this project. The following services are offered:
