Winds of change blow gently in the Enchanted Garden of Gawad Kalinga in Bulacan. Here, relocated families of informal settlers have rebuilt their lives anew and productively. They have new homes with gardens and livelihood to boot! Vegetation, of course, is a distinct possibility, with its accompanying herbal products. However, there are other creative pursuits like making of throw pillows with catchy names of vegetables, for instance. As always, the limit is just set by the mind.
This GK project disproves claims of informal settlers that they will go hungry in relocation far from Manila. They just have to feed on their hard work, discipline, community spirit and resiliency.
