Update 15th Jul 15

This was how their patch looked when we started back in May.

With some of this . . .

 . . . they produced this!

Dominga – one of the girls on the team, recently completed studies in agriculture and was able to pass on to the Luawe association improved methods for planting which enabled them to triple the number of plants per square metre when using irrigation!

Once shown, it was then their turn to do it themselves.

Unfortunately, the local bugs are also enjoying the new menu, so we are desperately trying to locate an insecticide that they can use to control this to ensure the success of the project.

Thank you.

Dean and Kaylene for the Mercy Air team.
