We left Choma and headed west. First stop Leonard's farm. He has started a new farm and moved his son there. He will follow in a few more months.
Leonard's vision is to teach others how to make money through farming to care for orphans and vulnerable children. He is building multiple small projects to demonstrate this concept to others.
He has done a tremendous amount of work on his new farm. Some of the things he has done thus far are: piggery, hatching and raising chickens, raising goats, raising cattle, vegetable gardening, raising crops (other than corn). His garden plot is 2.4 acres and he already has it fenced with game wire to keep out all animals.
We left there and went to Siachitema Mission to look at the progress of building a science lab. The Zambian Government has created a new regulation that requires any and all high school to have a science lab. Of course they have allocated no funding to support this new regulation. Therefore the community and the church is required to come up with the money to build something.
We stopped at Darren and Diane's for lunch. The chicken project is progressing nicely.
We drove to Zimba for dinner at the Zimba PWC Mission house. There were several people there from various countries staying there and helping Dr. Jones' at the Zimba Mission Hospital.
