Our daily Work at the Nursery

On and on it goes. Growing fruit trees and especially taking care for the seedlings is a lot of work. Everyday duties need to be taken care of. It starts with tending to the seedlings, watering them, ensuring there is enough but not too much sun…all those things. Without our volunteers this would be impossible. Those guys help out in every way they can. Thank you guys so much! We are all planting a future for Zambia.

Our daily Work at the Nursery

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

Soon we will get the water pump :)
