So We wanted to give you a quick update, but then I pulled all our pictures off the camera, totalling 1,500! So much for a quick and easy update! This post is in two posts because there was just so many photos!!! Enjoy!
Matt killed his first chicken... a nice very large black rooster! All the headmasters kids are looking at the photos from Matts camera.

The other garden we decided to do some transplanting and fixing up. So this is it cleared of everything but the tree, and lemon grass. It had cape goose berries in it but they did too well so we transplanted them to a better location that they can take over. Below is them transplanted.
Bryan leading the permaculture class and any one who wanted to assist in planting out the garden.
Now it just needs lots of water and time to catch up to the other garden.
This is the other garden we planted 8 months ago, it is doing amazing! The tree is taller than Green! (The guy in the garden his name is Green)
The oven we helped to build for the wives of the scouts.
We baked 2 loaves of bread and a cake the week before we left.
It tasted so good and the women are so happy!
Bryan blowing bubbles for the kids!
Faces around the camp
Justine a new PCV moved into our old house in Sharpevale and we envited her to visit us so we could talk about it. So she came... this is us returning from the chippies stand with a bag full of chippies! (Chippies are like frys only larger and not as cooked)

Chitini the staff boat taking the staff to work really early in the morning.
Our final Project, a Medicinal Permagarden
The chosen location next to bananas on the slope on the hill. Can you see Bryan in this photo?
Now we clear the land
Then we dig some holes, burms and trenches for water catchment and control.
We made three beds. The whole garden is a triangle shape so the three beds are small med and large.
Adding manure, then we mixed it in
Planting the medicinal plants, this is Bryan teaching about aloe vera.
planting a tree and more teaching from Bryan
Two days later we returned to the garden and the people had created a fence around the whole garden so the goats don't destroy it all. They had also started digging a shallow well near the bananas.
The group
Another post coming because there are just too many pictures!
