Better Dirt = Better Health
Families use rice bags for many things, like saving dirt.
Other families want dirt so they can start plants and seedlings.
We harvested rice at NCAT in December. We saved the seeds for Spring planting.

And here is our second pile of dirt. In just a few days, all the dirt was gone.

Better Health
Neighbors come to get dirt.
They sign their names. Later we will visit and see what they grow.
Everyone said, “No wheelbarrows!” They will carry the dirt home. We will use the extra money to buy more dirt.
Here come more neighbors from the Women’s Learning Group.
She has brought a rice bag.
Farmers appreciate good dirt. Good dirt means better food.
Getting dirt for neighbors and our group is a good way to talk about health. Here, H Wier Siu, a doctor in Vietnam, talks to a mom expecting her first baby. “How is your baby? Are you seeing an American doctor? Are you exercising and eating well?” She said, “Yes.”
