Benson Food Technical Specialists

Last Friday we went to the Frankfurt airport to meet with Brother Ron and Sister Wendy Davison for a briefing on their recent visit to Bosnia. They had a layover in Frankfurt before they returned to their home down under in Sydney, Australia.   The Davison's are technical specialists for the Benson Food Initiative.  They work together with Muslim Aid, a local NGO to assist poor rural families in Bosnia and Herzegovina establish productive and sustainable greenhouses. These are 100 square foot greenhouse with a concrete pad along with materials for an irrigation system.  Families receive seeds, seedlings and everything required for their initial crop. That means that the beneficiary receives a complete greenhouse kit they must build and prepare for the next planting cycle.  This helps poor families to have better nutrition and the means to help parents sell a few crops, earn some money and better care for their children.

We might mention that Ron and Wendy were Humanitarian Missionaries in Bosnia in 2013 to 2015.  They were the couple who replaced us when we completed our first mission in Bosnia.  

We had a productive meeting, caught up on what each of us were doing.  It was good to hear about people we know in Bosnia and we had an enjoyable time meeting with them.
