September 15th, we joined the community in the Independence Day celebrations. Wearing their traditional dress, the local school paraded through the community before putting on a performance celebrating Independence.


We took the opportunity to check up on developments are were delighted to see some of the progress being made. The coldframes are producing tomatoes and chilies. This is a first for this community perched at 3,000 m. It was particularly encouraging to see the initiative of a family in constructing their own coldframe.

Together with the ministry of agriculture, we provided 100 silos for corn storage. Each family paid a small amount towards the fabrication. Proper corn storage will go a long way to eliminating waste due to mold or rodents.
