In september 2005 I spent 18 days in bolivia with international relief and development charity tearfund, who I’ve worked with extensively over the years.
I travelled with a journalist and video crew into some very beautiful and remote areas of the andes to report on a partner organisation helping villagers to grow crops in low-tech greenhouses. The vegetables grown in the greenhouses help vary the diet of the children in the villages we visited. Because the villages are so high (we spent most of our time above 10000 feet), most crops struggle to survive, and people live off wheat and potatoes.
The material is being used as part of tearfund’s harvest 2006 promotion.
