Farm visits and Conference day 3

By Cheryl O’Shannessy

Jeff and Annette continued the sessions from yesterday. Nelson and Rael took Deenie and I to see their farm. Nelson has maize crops and kale.

It hasn’t rained for 6 weeks and the crops are thirsty. Nelson would like to put in an irrigation system. He employs people to help him, and he supplies a school and hospital with vegetables. Nelson also has some medicinal plants, Aloe Vera and Morenga

This is their old home and new home.

Nelson gave us some lemongrass to take to our accommodation.

Rael’s has a small shop.

After lunch was another session, and then we split the men and the women, and Glenys and Deenie spoke to the ladies and finished off with another singalong and Jeff spoke to the men.
