Future Farmers of Zambia
Future Farmers of Zambia
I received a report this week from Kimberly and Kamau that I want to share with you. The rainy season is in full swing, and we needed to get the maize planted as quickly as possible. Women were hired from neighboring villages. However, they worked very slowly. So Kamau enlisted help from our kids. In a couple of hours, with the help of our agricultural workers, they were able to plant more maize than the ladies had in several days.
Knowing how eager the kids are to help, I can imagine that they were thrilled when "Daddy Kamau" asked for their help. In other situations, the children almost fight over who is going to be the one to help. Nelson said to me one time, "I feel so good when I'm helping around the property."
Some of these children are the future farmers of Zambia and they will have the skills and determination needed.
