The garden is more than a space for planting—it’s a vibrant initiative rooted in food sustainability, cross-cultural connection, and hands-on learning. And this year’s kickoff event proved exactly that.
Armed with gloves, shovels, and determination, volunteers—including club members Marilyn, Wayne, Pepe & Elsa, and Ihu—helped weed and prepare two large planting beds alongside Sinkunia staff and community members. Wayne, drawing on his landscaping background, brought both tools and expertise, setting a strong pace for the team.
A standout moment? The unexpected arrival of so many Eastglen Rotaract students, turning the day into a true multigenerational collaboration. Their energy and willingness to jump in was matched by the hospitality of Sinkunia organizers, who even treated the students to lunch.
This marks the second year of collaboration between YEG Passport Rotary and Sinkunia, reinforcing a growing partnership rooted in shared values: service, empowerment, and community.
By the end of the day, the beds were clear, the weeds were gone, and the spirit of teamwork was unmistakable. Tired but fulfilled, every volunteer left knowing they had contributed to something meaningful—not just in the garden, but in the relationships built and strengthened along the way.
Here’s to another season of growing together.
