Here is Fred the Nurseryman from our tree nursery in Mukuni Village admiring the Moringa that has been set out in the Moringa orchard.  By the looks of puddles it has just rained.

LONG TIME

It has been a long time since I put anything on the blog. No I have not passed on or that the project is at a stand still. The opposite is happening. The project is getting lessons in communications and filling out forms, making reports and oh yes! they are planting trees like crazy. Perhaps I should take a lesson in communicating since the blog is so behind. I have been busy editing our ‘how to’ book getting ready to print more copies and send out. Let me know if you want one, the shipping is not cheap so donations are always welcome. The new constitution for African Community Project in Zambia has also taken much of my time. Robson the Country Manager is busy doing the work of filing along with some capable people that have come on board.
Back to communications. It is still a challenge to get reports and photos of projects, snail mail is very slow, and the internet is sporadic. Poor Fred goes the 60 kilometers into Kasama to send things and finds the Internet down. Felix is having the same trouble, even no electricity sometimes. We can still text, which we do regularly but getting reports is another matter. Teaching the facilitators to communicate is one thing but getting the system to work is another.
