2011 is here and African Community Project is doing well and growing! This year will be my 10^th year working in Zambia with some of the most dedicated and happy people I have ever known. Robson Nyirenda a forester was one of the first people I met arriving in country and I am proud to say he is now Country Manager in Zambia of African Community Project. Our goal this year is to introduce more opportunities for communities wanting to manage their forests at a sustainable and profitable level. More charcoal plantations as well as Moringa powder orchards are being planned. As funds allow more wells will be rehabilitated or dug. A breakfast program at some local schools will also be implemented this year; giving a breakfast to the less fortunate children of the village who would normally attend school without eating a breakfast. The program which will run about an hour before school will be focused around having fun, playing sports, doing art and of course learning about their environmental. I know that some children come to school with nothing in their stomachs; this will give these less fortunate kids a step up ready to start their day. Sponsors will be needed to maintain the program once it is up and running and we have lots schools (children) that could use the program.

Presentations or questions! I would be happy to come a give a presentation at your school, church or club, showing you what we do in our programs. Or even just answer any questions you may have about our work in Zambia.
