Hill Top Farm Shines

Great news today - Escom has put in the 3 phase meter and turned on the juice at Hill Top Farm.  We have lights at the the farm !  We can now get cracking on the water supply issues.
Other good news - Foster tells me he has located 2 complete wheels for our dear old tractor - rims, tyres and tubes.
The frenzied pace of work preparing the land for this rainy season continues unabated.  Chirobwe, Ndirande, Lunzu and the Chigumula village folk are all hard at work.  The land will be ready within weeks I am told.
Down in the valley the 4 secondary school orphans and the 21 primary school orphans all have new uniforms and are at school as planned, paid for by the bean harvest recently harvested by Frank and his team.

August 2011 - Farm visit from from the USA

During August a team from the USA visited Hill Top Farm and helped with getting the farm ready.

They also spent time teaching school children  ...

 ... and even got to play football with our Malawian friends.
