Today we set out on another long drive to explore two new areas that are potential sites for the Food Security Program. The first area, TABA, Rachael and Carolyn have been to a long time ago. It was nice to be back in the area! We met with the Cooperative, then were taken to four farms to see exactly where they are. Lots done with very little!! But also lots of struggles due to poverty as well as very poor soil that hampers growing many crops! The hills are particularly steep making terracing difficult and soil erosion a real problem. We were very encouraged by their desire to improve their situation and we feel that, given the right tools, they can overcome many of their obstacles. After being fed a nice lunch, we headed off for site # 2 - MUBAZI! Again, a very thirsty group for any knowledge to improve their lot in life!

It is wonderful to hear of the great reception and interest that Rachael is receiving for The Udder Project. It must be very rewarding to revisit farmers and see them implementing the practices learned from your agriculture info talks. The pictures are great and you all look well and happy. Love to Lauren
