The Halo Foundation recently received a grant of US$10,000 from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, in sponsorship of a pilot farming project.
Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Antigua and Barbuda, H.E. Zhang Yanling, said the Embassy highly commends the valuable efforts by the Halo Foundation in advocating for and supporting the underprivileged and vulnerable of Antigua and Barbuda.
We also identify with the purpose and concept of this agricultural project, which aims to enhance food security and provide training opportunities to the young generation, which is particularly meaningful against the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic the Ambassador said.
H.E. Lady Williams said the one acre of land which the Ministry of Agriculture has made available, is expected to generate revenue for the charity so that assistance may be provided to those in need, whenever possible.
In addition to the monetary donation, Halo will also benefit from technical assistance imparted by the China-Aid Agro-Tech Project through lectures on farming.
