Training on nutrition and gardening in preparation for this years rainy season

this year's rainy season is has already started, we started getting our first rains around mid may. In preparation for the season we carried out a training on nutrition and vegetable gardening. we visited two communities that are located approximately 250Km from the town where i stay, it took us two days to cover the two communities that we targeted. the training was successful though we had a bit of transport challenges but thanks be to God we made it there and came back home safe , at some point we crossed a big river on a canoe boat to get to our last village. i conducted the training and the field officer and my supervisor from village to village federation helped with the translation. 

 

we posed for a group picture at the end of our training session, it was really an amazing experience, i learnt quiet a few things about the peoples culture because i conducted the training in a way that almost everyone was able to participate through contributions of their knowledge and what the  knew about the crops we were talking about. crossing in on the boat was a bit scary but I managed to keep composure and turned out to be fun at the endo. The boat is designed to carry at least 20 people with their hand languages too, the experiences kept reminding me of how God loves his people and protects them from different dangers by giving them knowledge to always keep themselves safe 

       
our training covered methods of growing crops, organic production and post harvest handling of crops. We also covered the nutrients found in deferent vegetables and how they help the body.  we covered  different food classes as well. we redistributed a few seeds for the people to try out right after the training. the seeds included onions, carrots, garden eggs, tomatoes, pepper and okra. we will be visiting the communities again to check on how people are doing with their crops
