“Hello friends and Team, we will start making the gardening project this week, and we have started making a signboard and tomorrow we will paint the Garden Bank society before starting. Then we hire a tractor to cultivate the land, I will take video and photos and make a post and update on our Instagram and Facebook page. The one painting the sign is Mr. Nico, a French volunteer.”
