The new nursery shelter and greenhouse is up!

Very good news!! After days of hard work we finally have our shelter thanks to our German volunteers and donors. It is so amazing, so unbelievable.

Before we could start to set up the shelter we needed to clear the area of bush and roots to make room for it. Hard work. Thanks so much to our volunteers!

After getting all the material the volunteers were curious about the shade netting and inspected it carefully 🙂

And here we go: the new greenhouse and nursery shelter only needs a few more little adjustments and then our seedlings can move in.

Thanks  so much! Hope you will one day come down here to see the fruits of your sacrifice.

No more window shopping…We are now making a real job of it!

Finally last Sunday we could do the first money transfer from Germany to Zambia. In our fundraising campaign around Christmas we collected around 3.500 Euros. The first 500 Euros now arrived in Zambia and I could buy some of the items on our wish list.

For now our priority is to protect the seedlings from too much sun. That is why we decided to first buy some shade nettings and poles to build a shelter.

Since we are still waiting for Western Union to confirm the verification of the bank account holder we now use the time to build shelter. As soon as this is all through the remaining money will be transferred so that we can buy more things, like the much needed water pump and water tanks, as well as fences.

I already checked out those items in the stores 😉

Soon we will get the water pump 🙂

Next step is to buy tanks so we can actually keep some water for dry periods

Different wires and fences are still on our list

See all that? Soon…soon 😉
