. Since I think it is important and urgent to find answers to the questions of why we become cancer and how we prevent, I said, I have a small share with my little friends. There is absolutely soil in the raw material of everything but everything we see. We want to take whatever we give to the soil from prehistoric times, to tell today's children one to one to the elders of tomorrow, to make them touch, see and feel. We want the children to know that it is possible to grow with healthy soil as before and it is in our hands! In short, for this, we are investing in our tomorrow with my heartfelt archaeologist friends.
