<div><strong>Turning the Tide: Let's Build Food Sovereignty for Siargao</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi everyone, Jamie and Carmen here. Most of you know us from Booth, but today we’re stepping away from the usual to share a project that’s hit home for us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve spent a lot of time on the island of Siargao, and we’ve seen and felt the magic Hope for the Island creates. It’s more than a center; it’s a literal lifeline for kids who need it most. But they have a vulnerability: they rely almost entirely on outside donations. To keep the lights on and the plates full for the long haul, they need to be the masters of their own kitchen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Reality Check</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On an island where one storm can reset months of hard work, food security isn’t a given—it’s a fight. Currently, <strong>80% of Siargao’s fresh produce is imported.</strong> That leaves families stuck with high costs and a supply chain that’s as unpredictable as the weather.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to help them break that cycle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The "Full-Circle" Plan</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We aren't just looking for a band-aid. We’re helping Hope for the Island build a sustainable greenhouse and farm. The goal is a "Full-Circle" ecosystem that focuses on:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Resilient Education:</strong> Teaching agricultural techniques that actually stand up to the elements.
</li>
<li><strong>Greenhouse Defense: </strong>Providing the physical structures needed to protect crops from extreme weather.
</li>
<li><strong>Economic Independence:</strong> Moving families from survival mode to a sustainable business model where they can sell surplus crops and earn a real income.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your Impact is Doubled</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn't just about building a structure; it’s about seeding a local economy. We’re making sure these kids have nutrition that isn't dependent on whether or not a delivery boat can dock.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s the best part: every dollar you give BOOTH will match it. </strong>Your $50 becomes $100, and your $500 becomes $1,000. It’s a direct investment into the future of this community, and every cent goes further today.
