Woofing in Singapore

It hard to imagine staying in Singapore and trying to lead a life that we’ve chosen, a more self sustainable life in a maddening city of crazy commercialisation and development. A city of little to no inspiration and motivation for people like us seeking a good life in a smallholding! Very suffocating indeed!!

I’ve however found a little piece of sanity within the last few months and in the recent few weeks I’ve had a most fulfilling experience. I’ve finally started work at Pathlight School, Singapore’s first school for children with autism. A social project by GUI led by me and a team of dedicated volunteers we’ve tilled the land and are working towards improving the lives of these children by imparting farming skills to them so that hopefully they can one day be employed by Singapores non existent agricultural industry, what an irony!!

I’m a man of very few words so I would let the pictures tell the story:

Mr Lim and Chia Chia measuring the Veg planter beds

Clearing the land Mr Lim in action, his muscles and dedication puts me to shame

Me! the noob farmer in action. Note to myself wearing flip flops while farming is not very smart.

A farm in the making: Our raised vegetable bed and a footpath by the side

No more pitter pottering around my small little garden and being excited with a few strands of lettuce, I've now entered the big time serious stuff haha

Stay tuned for more.....
