FROM THE PHILIPPINES EDDIE GROWS HIS OWN FOOD

My friend Eddie is from the Philippines, he's been in Hawaii for only six months. What does he do? Does he sit around and do nothing? No, he does what he knows, and that is to survive, and growing his own vegetables to help sustain his family is what a man does, no matter where he is from.

With the high cost of rent, fuel and food, Eddie takes his God's given gift for growing vegetables to Maui, and making use of open spaces not occupied by anyone especially in the agribusiness, he is cultivating some fine greens that can be cooked in soups, made into salads and more. Eddie is a prime example of sustaining through gardening. I respect anyone who with no money in his pockets, will not sit and cry about his sad situation, but look around him for an opportunity. Eddie saw an open space of land, he saw his water hose, got his pick, shovel, and hoe, and went to work. God wants us to be fruitful in life, Eddie exemplifies this…to be fruitful, to get to work, to sweat and not be afraid to get dirty and to feed his family.
