Dear reader,
we are thrilled to share with you our most recent update: We achieved 50% of our initial goal of raising 400.000 Euros and we could already start cultivating the first 21 hectares desert land.
|
In this newsletter we want to share with you pictures' and video impressions from our desert farm in Wahat El-Bahareya.
