Things are moving along - at last!

During his visit in May 2009, Baba Mzungu organised the clearance of a plot and the sowing of seed that he had brought from England. We planted cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, leek, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, beetroot and butternut squash.

All the seed has taken and the kids, with help from Vincent are now tending the crops.

We are hoping that because the climate in Kisii does not change much through the year, we will be able to grow vegetables all year round, which will help feed the Twiga kids.

Baba Mzungu is on his way - at last!

Hi Kids

It has been a difficult year for all of us, and for me, raising funds for the next stage of the Twiga project (that's you) has been very worrying.

We still don't have the money we need to do everything we want to do, but at least we can start. This time, we will be clearing some of the land at the plot so that we (that's you) can sow seed for vegetables and fruits that you can then eat.

We will also be looking at making fertiliser, filtering and purifying your drinking water, and if we get time, mosquito control.

If we get time, I want to put a swing on the plot, and maybe make a seesaw for the younger ones.

So, we will be busy, but I am sure you will enjoy yourselves.

Baadaye
