Forests without Borders
28 Dec 2009 05:06 am
I am very proud to tell you that African Community Project is now part of Forests without Borders http://www.cif-ifc.org/site/forests_without_borders the new charity side of Canadian Institute of Forestry. This will benefit the project with such backing of talented membership in CIF especially in the reforestation side of things and the capability of dealing with carbon credits.
Donations:
The year is coming to an end very quickly now. That means the tax year for some is coming to a close. You can make tax deductable donations to Forests without Borders for African Community Project.
Happy Holidays!

May I wish everyone the best of the season and that the New Year be a healthy one.
I look forward to returning to Zambia and Africa early in 2010 to continue my work there with some very special people. Although 2009 was a very challenging one for me in the health end of things; the project flourished. So it goes to show that change can come. African Community Projects motto is "by the community for the community" which has proven true this year. Zikomo kwambiri
Climate Change
19 Dec 2009 04:36 pm
Last night a storm so violent, passed through Mumbi Village. Rain and wind hammered the village for hours, something that has not happened in resent history, leaving people homeless.
What does all this mean? Who is on the climate change band wagon? Who is not? Is it true what people are saying? Are they qualified to make those statements both pro and con? Are we all being manipulated by the media? Questions that go unanswered. But I can tell you this! Life at village level is not getting easier, in fact perhaps getting worse. Rains come early, they come late. Erosion is continuing even to the extent of irreversible damage. Maybe it is just a weather cycle and nature will correct itself. Maybe not. I know this, that in the past there has been mass forests to balance things; now there is not. Planting trees will help swing the pendulum back to the centre and slow the process of climate change down.
Repot From Felix

The report I got from Felix was very good late last night. The new well at Nkhola Community School is on schedule. Lining the well will start later this week. Felix is also distributing seeds to the communities for the 2009 rainy season which will start anytime.
