From The Philippines-
Corn farmers in a remote community here are lucky to have been chosen recipients of two postharvest facilities from the Episcopal church to complement government efforts in improving their lives.
Around 24 farmers producing corn in Daram, Cudal are beneficiaries of the Community-Based Development Program (CBDP) of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Luzon (EDNL) with the on-going construction of a warehouse and multi-purpose drying pavement.
Development officer Fr. Allen Aligo of EDNL said the 20 feet by 30 feet warehouse and the 500 square meter drying pavement is funded by the United States of America Episcopal church and is expected to be completed this year.
He said the lot was donated by Juliana Salibad, a corn farmer. “The project is the progressive type wherein the beneficiaries can expand the edifice and convert it into a multi-purpose one that could be used as a barangay assembly place or council office and the pavement to have a stage for public occasions,” Aligo said.
