North East Affected Area Development Society
NEADS has worked for over a decade with families from flood-affected areas in Assam. They recently established a community resource centre in Ambikapur village situated in the remote northeast corner of the state. Last year, with support from Rotary Clubs in District 5020, Fertile Ground worked with NEADS and village members to develop a new demonstration garden and construct sanitary latrines and simple playgrounds at nearby schools. Click on the photo to view a slide show about the development of the garden. Through "Kids to Kids", we also connected with elementary school children and their teachers. You can learn more about that initiative by visiting the project's Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kids-to-Kids/203562856337220
