It has been so long since I posted here that blogger made me sign in from scratch! Over the last couple of weeks there has been a flurry of activity, In mid February we did a Virtues training at a small primary school way up in the rocky hills near Maseno. It is always wonderful to read the evaluations: this has changed my life! is a fairly typical line.
Then on the following Monday we took a group of leaders of the planned cooperative to the demonstration farm of our trainer, Alex. There we saw drip irrigation, another eco-san toilet, fertiliser made from the water hyacinth that clogs the shores of Lake Victoria, plus a home made insect spray made with chili peppers. We had a visit with a new cooeprative growing bananas and a women's group that sells packages of the tiny dried fish that come from the lake.

After Bondo there was another Virtues training in a school near Shinyalu, and one for the teachers of ACCES, the informal schools that are still necessary in rural communities. 
A fourth training was in a school in Lurambi, a section of Kakamega.

This week we started our Read for the Top (tm) heats and finals.
