JCED visits Victory Gardens

The JCED team visited 107 homes in James,  Namaja, and Naliya villages. We are happy to  see 93 healthy gardens growing well
In Naliya Village, the gardens look great. Many  people said they started gardening because  their Pastors told them how important it is. One  villager said, "When I heard it from our Pastor,  I knew this was serious!"
 
We also helped fix 21 gardens that were  struggling. We are working hard to make sure  our team does their job well and visits every  home on time. We met with TA Phweremwe to  talk about how Chiefs can help promoting victory gardens, where we planned to  have a meeting with traditional leaders.
 
This activity vividly demonstrates the  accompaniment principle as articulated  by Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium,  where he calls the Church to master the  “art of accompanimentˮ a patient,  merciful, and relational presence that  walks alongside people in their real-life  journeys, respecting their pace while  gently guiding them toward fuller human  and spiritual flourishing.
