This lush scene is the seedling nursery at Alfred and Agnes Memorial Orphan Mission (AAMOM). The seedling nursery is a direct result of AAMOM's partnership with farmers in Virginia who have been sending seeds, tools and providing agricultural support and advice to partners in Liberia since before the war ended. Please click on the link below to read more about this effort to assist agricluture work and farming in Liberia.
Sustainable agriculture is as critical as education to maintaining peace and stability in Liberia. As LOEP focuses on education, our friends and other family members focus on agricultural success for our partners in Liberia. Our mutually supportive relationship grew from the commitment our own church made years ago to assist our Liberian partners in achieving peace and stability for their nation.
AAMOM has had great success in creating a sustainable agricultural project that not only feeds the orphans but is also successful enough to produce products for the local markets. LOEP Team member Rachel Price is an environmental scientist. She was mightily impressed on her first visit to AAMOM with the operation's success in developing something of a thriving permaculture type community.
