Pass on the Gift Song
LA FLORIDA, Honduras—This song was written by project participants from the Integrated Farms with Gender Focus project in La Florida, Honduras. The song was created in conjunction with the group's first Passing on the Gift ceremony as a way for participants to share their excitement at having reached their goal and being able to share their knowledge and resources with other members of their community.
