What’s a food forest?
“The food forest is something tangible that the community’s future leaders can take over after we’re gone. They’ll remember that they planted that tree and why.”

![With schools closing around the globe due to COVID-19, students in Uganda have tried to adjust to their new school days from home. 12-year-old Annet says: "I feel really bad to be out of school. I miss school a lot."
CFTC's local partner HUYSLINCI is working to ensure that children like Annet, who have difficulty accessing remote learning, can still receive an education. Annet's teacher says: "With generous support [from CFTC donors], we have started virtual learning on local television channels, distributed self-help learning materials to families, and I also go to speak with the girls to make sure they are faring well at home."
We sincerely thank our donors or helping children continue to get an education during a difficult back to school season.
