Sowing activities finished around early November.



 

The following small report I received through WhatsApp. It looks good and the Project seems to be on track for the planting that can start soon. Any thanks to all participants.



 Rains have started in some parts of our country. Late December transplanting activities will commence, we hope by this time most of our seedlings will have reached a size suitable for transplanting and good rains in progress.





More thanks to our Donor Mr Flip, our Prisons Farm manager Bwana Mwale, our Partner for Green light Foundation Mrs Phiri, and not forgetting our technical adviser Madame Mary.  Also my dear colegues in our nursery sites deserve a part on their back,,they have been doing a very good job to take care of our tree seedlings.We expect to start planting during this month of December late and January.
