QUITE THE VIEW

Mount Maru  – this is our view from the school

So far our classes have went quite well. They have been well attended, full of students each day with no room for more.  It has been such a humbling experience to be here with these men.  One student came from 16 hours south of here and another traveled over from Uganda.  Several of these students have been trying to raise rabbits but unsuccessfully.  We have been teaching on rabbits the last 2 days and they have each had “ah ha” moments where the light has come on and they have seen what they were doing that was causing them to be unsuccessful.

Right now it is 7:30 am on Wednesday morning and today we will start teaching on how to raise Tilapia.  They have already bought a large tank for the fish and purchased around 90 fish.  We are going to be building a 50ft by 75ft pond in the field to put the fish in.

I have certainly not lost any weight this trip to Africa.  I have been fortunate enough to eat with the Gee family each day at lunch and dinner and they have been superb dinners.  We have had hamburgers, fajitas, and a number of other delicious meals.

Today I plan on start filming for our how-to-raise  video series.  The weather is perfect, right now it is in the mid 60’s and not supposed to go above 80 today.
