Since this year it has rained a lot here, it has made it very hard on the farmers, especially the rice farmers, because their crops have not had time to dry. This means that these already poor people lose their crops. It also means that there is nothing left to pay back the "utang" (borrowed money) to buy seeds and food for their families.
We continue to bring weekly food donations to Bohol's poor communities to alleviate at least a little of the suffering. You may be wondering why we distribute rice to the rice farmers? I had asked myself the same question. The reason is that the farmers sell all the rice they harvest to buy food and other necessities.
