Pumpkins harvested at PROUD Village

Pumpkin plants are grown at Proud Village by the children together with their skills trainers.

They take care of the pumpkin plants such as weeding together with their skills trainer Wednesday Immaculate. 

When the pumpkin fruits start developing the skills trainer guides the children to cover them with pumpkin leaves to avoid being destroyed by sunshine. 

When the pumpkin fruit becomes big the skills trainer harvests it by hand picking and is taken to the kitchen for the children to eat. The children like enjoying eating the pumpkins which are cooked together with the dry beans.
