<div>Hello! My name is Abdul Razzaq Tahir Kukoyi-Jones, and this GoFundMe page has been created to fund a community service project for the Venturing Summit Rank. I chose the <strong>Academy for College and Career Exploration</strong> because it is a location with passionate youth who love not only their community but also their environment. I saw a need for new garden beds, as the old ones had fallen into disrepair or were in unsuitable locations, along with an opportunity to pass on my wealth of knowledge about Maryland's native plants to eager scholars. As a result, I developed the <strong>Garden Learning Tables project</strong>.

</div>
<div>The Garden Learning Tables (GLT) Project aims to create accessible, educational raised garden bed tables, plant native fruit trees, and set up hydroponics systems, all accompanied by educational placards, designed to promote gardening skills, community engagement, and holistic well-being in urban environments. <strong>I chose this project because it will help improve food literacy, foster new skills, and provide students and the community at the Academy for College and Career Exploration with new learning experiences through hands-on agricultural activities.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This project is estimated to be completed by October 25, 2025.
</div>
<div>All remaining funds will be allocated to the ACCE Green Team.
