Veggie demo farm

MAITUM, Sarangani (November 19, 2008) - This vegetable farm is owned by the municipal government and managed by six high school students from barangays Batian and Wali. They were provided by the municipal agriculturist with a nipa hut where they could stay during school days while at the same time plant vegetables, raise pigs and ducks. Income from the vegetable farm is given back to the students for their allowance and subsistence. Dubbed as "Magtanim ka para Makapag-aral," this program is one of the best practices of the Child-Friendly Movement in Maitum. (Photo by Beth Palma Gil/MAITUM INFORMATION OFFICE)
