Un premier champ a été labouré dans des lieux propices à l’agriculture pour y planter du manioc, du maïs et des haricots. D’autres champs accueilleront bientôt des oignons, des aubergines et des poivrons. Stand Speak Rise Up! est fier de voir ce projet évoluer et prendre vie. https://t.co/XCGDDhUheM
