Building weekends are not over!
With some time and ideas, we have decided to make a garden, fence and compost bin.


------



This is the first garden I make, it has been fun! So far we have planted beet root, pumpkin and pok choy yet we still need to plant much more. However, the soil is ready and rich!




We made rain canals and walking paths so people do not step over the beds and the beds do not get flooded.




While clearing the road into the school classrooms, we gathered future mulch for our garden (a 2 for 1 deal).

Moringa is a great tree that provides nutritious leafs, good wood for cooking and seeds for water filters.





With so many goat and cows hanging out from time to time around the moringa, doing this fence has been easy and crucial. I got the idea thanks to a friend from Zimbawe who was helping me cut the grass.












The message is clear: STAY AWAY FROM THE MORINGA!

The compost bin will be upgraded in the future, however, it works good for now.



Kids like these 2 are always visiting our house, specially now that one volunteer lends them basket and soccer balls. They are always ready to help and that is nice. It is a little annoying to having them around all the time when you want peace and privacy, I need to get used to that.
