Crewmembers from the USCG Cutter Rush (WHEC-723) paid a visit to the Samoa Victim Support Group (SVSG)s House of Hope on Thursday morning to build them a new vegetable garden. In partnership with Soil Health Pacific Ltd - Growing a healthy future, the crewmembers were able to nearly double the size of the existing garden. The team built a new pig fence with durable steel posts, and stocked the garden with cabbage, egg plants, cucumbers, capsicum, tomatoes, and beans The garden will now be a regular source of fresh vegetables for the 50-plus children who live at the shelter. It will also be a place of learning for the older children at the shelter, as they will be responsible for care and maintenance of the garden. As part of their visit, the Coast Guard also donated fifteen boxes of hygiene supplies to the shelter, filled with much needed items such as mouthwash, soap, baby wipes and wash, panty liners, dental floss, and band aids.
