In the Live 30A Real Estate company logo, we have the words "Real Estate with Purpose". In January and February, we focused on "feeding the hungry" based on Jesus' words in Matthew 25, "I was hungry and you fed me" in partnership with 501c3 non-profit Give 30A, by planting fruit trees in three strategic places (farms) in Nicaragua:
1. A Children's Home (JCM Nicaragua)
2. A Private School (KBC Memorial Institute)
3. A farm that supplies churches (Twelve Churches' Campo Sagrado)
We set out with an initiative to create sustainable impact over the long term by supplying fruit tree's that couple produce fruits for years and years to come. Our Goal was 500 Trees. By march 1, in connection to closings, donors, and people like our agent Pete Mclellan (who ran 5 miles each morning on 30A for the 28 days of February) we had raised over $10,000 to make the impact a reality. March 18th-25th, we ventured to Nicaragua with a small Give 30A team to help bring the fruit tree initiative to life. See photos below:
We planted over 200 fruit trees at the Jesus Centered Ministries Children's Home (JCM Nicaragua) - a sustainability dream the missionaries had hoped to bring to life in the future. Thanks to the clients who trusted Live 30A, and the donors who gave otherwise, we were able to fully fund all costs of the farm to get it started, purchase all tools, all work needed, all supplies, and have a consultant train the workers, and visit weekly and bi-weekly for the first year, and then occasionally for the following 2 years on retainer.
We planted Avocado, plantain, guayaba, orange, lemon, papaya, pineapple, passion fruit, Granadilla, dragonfruit, tomato, peppers and herbs.
At KBC Memorial Institute, we helped fund the building and installation of a water tower, irrigation, and 250 fruit trees to expand their farming operations, a desire the school expressed in order to feed children, provide jobs, and provide income. (This is a project that will be added to and completed in April)
At Campo Sagrado Farm in Nicaragua, we are helping to provide 100+ papaya trees that were wiped out during a recent storm.
