Tuesday - Youth Camp

Today we had the opportunity to meet with the students in the secondary sponsorship program.  There are just over 105 students sponsored and almost all of them were here.  It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces.  We had some teaching, Carolyn spoke to the students on reaching their potential.  

In the afternoon we all participated in some community work giving the students an opportunity to give back.  We hiked up one of the 1000 hills to help clear land for a new chapel!  What a beautiful spot over looking a nice view.

Wednesday - Food Security Talks; 2 sites

On Wednesday we travelled to two of the 9 Food Security sites. While at these, Rachael was able to find out from the beneficiaries about how well they are all doing and what's been happening over the past year since we'd been here last.  She was very pleased with what she was hearing.  At both sites we heard farmers reporting that they are seeing an increase in the general health of their cows as well as an increase in the milk production since putting into practice some of the things she taught last year.  More and more farmers are regularly deworming and spraying as well as giving fresh milk and a higher quality diet.

Then Rachael taught on 'heat detection' in the cows so that farmers will know better when to bring in the veterinarian for either artificial insemination, or the bull for natural breeding.
