THE Philippine-hosted Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca), the Rotary Club of Calamba and the 'Bahay ni Maria' have joined forces to design and establish an edible garden for the elderly and children with special needs in a site in Calamba, Laguna.

The Bahay ni Maria, a home for abandoned elderly and children with special needs in Calamba, is the partner-beneficiary of the initiative represented by Sister Maria Immaculate Ancog, head of Missionary Sisters of Our Lady Fatima, during the recent signing of a tripartite agreement.
