ak. It was a quieter thursday at the Rhein-Valley Hospital, so Ruth showed me the hospital's vegetable garden. Under the guidance of Dr. Wanjara, the garden has flourished and now yields a wide variety of vegetables including spinach, Irish potatoes, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, celery and cucumber. The food grown in the garden is used to feed the hospital's patients and IDPs. Wanjara also uses specific vegetables in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, diabetes and hypertension patients. The garden is currently undergoing an expansion which should be complete by December. When finished, it will contain over 20 types of vegetables.
