For the convenience of the two landowners who're spearheading their respective projects, I've split the initiative into two fundraisers, one for each plot of land. The first fundraiser can be found here. Approximately $2500 from the first fundraiser was used to jumpstart the cultivation of this new plot of land. As of the publication of this campaign, the land has been cleared and plowed, and an irrigation system has been purchases and installed. [...] The plot of land to be cultivated by these funds is approximately 700 square meters, more than double the size of our original project, hence the higher starting goal of $10,000. Funds raised here will go towards seedlings, fertilizer, pesticides, wages for those who cultivate the land, and other relevant expenses. This plot of land receives more direct sunlight than the first plot. Therefore, the landowner has determined we will plant cucumbers and molokhia here, and possibly a heat-resistant strain of peppers. A small portion of the funds will be used to pay any taxes, duties, and fees associated with transferring the donations to Palestine. Depending on success, the goal and scope of the project may be expanded. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
