Just down the road from us is a learning center for special needs youth. It was established by the Duplessis’, whose daughter Megan was a very special young woman with special needs. Their search for the perfect site, a farm with a place for a school that their daughter could attend and still be “at home”, ended with a perfect solution after years of prayer. Sadly, Megan passed away at the tender age of 17 and never saw the school, but they continued with their vision, in order that others with difficulties could benefit from the learning center. It is run and staffed by some amazing people, and we have had the privilege at our Back 2 Eden farm to be involved with the center in many ways. Roy and Zweli have taught and planted there, and the senior class has come to the farm to volunteer and learn. This week they learned about different kinds of soils and composting, and they filled nursery sacks and planted seedlings. It is a gift to be able to share, however we can, with all who God puts in our paths.
