Progress so far!!!

It has been months of lull and pertubing silence, but here we are and promising to continue blogging on our successes and failures as we roll out our Conservation and Agroforestry project at Lwanda Dudi Secondary School in Siaya, Kenya funded by Teach A Man TO Fish, UK.This silence was partly contributed to by post-election violence in Kenya that made communication in general difficult.

The project has gone full cycle in terms of its key activities; Poultry unit, School Garden, Tree Nursery and linked school greening initiative and Green Food Kiosk which serves as an outlet for produce from the project activities. The structures are down and what remains is to enhance our efforts and operationalise the Green Food Kiosk which is yet to open its doors.

The project played host to Teach A Man To Fish Founder and Director, Nicholas Kafka in the month of April 2008, who was impressed with the advances the project has made so far.He stressed the need to improve on record keeping and involvement of students on the same in terms of financial input, sales, profits and loses. His visit was climaxed by conference in Kisumu whose participants were drawn from schools and civil society organizations that ascribe to the philosophy of self sufficient schools and entreprenuership.

Welcome to our blogging again and next month we will provide the finer details of our successes and failures.
