We are thankful this Earth Day for the surprise gift of 10 hectares of land in Mberengwa, Zimbabwe from the village heads for our school project. Although Tropical Cyclone Eloise paused our building projects temporarily in March it also produced much needed rains for crops.
The land gifted to us had been fallow for over 20 years. Needless to say, Project Manager Muno had many helpful hands from the village to clear the land of trees and shrubs in order to make the land conducive for planting crops. 8 hectares were cleared and 2 hectares were left for livestock grazing and breeding.
The photos above show the maize and sugar beans that were planted on 3 1/2 hectares. Although our crop may be small this year we look forward to the next planting season so that the entire plot of land can be planted and harvested.
