Photos of teachers.




Original photos are quite sharp!! Sorry folks!!

School Partnerships

Recent visitors have included a group of nine Headteachers from C of E Primary schools in the Lichfield Diocese in UK, led by Mrs Rosemary Woodward. Each school is partnered with a local Primary School in IcFEM's area of operation. The teachers each spent a week in their partner school. They have many photos, but mine are only a few - just to give a flavour of the visit.
The final meeting was with each Head of the Partnered schools to discuss the programme. The UK teachers left for Nairobi using a hired bus. IcFEM really needs our own bus for such visits and other activities!
We hope that this partnership programme will grow and include other parts of UK.
I am having trouble downloading photos, so will try in a separate post!!

We enjoyed this short visit - welcome again!

Good News at last!!

Praise God that ALL our farmers now have their seed and fertiliser (DAP). Some planted seed first, waiting to add fertiliser.
We are trusting the supply of CAN (fertiliser for top dressing) will happen much more quickly.
Please pray for the right rain. There has been hail in some places and no rain in Kimilili for the last three days.

News of the maize project.

We are really wanting to say that all our local Transformation Unit farmers have received their fertiliser and seeds, but sadly this is not so.
It is raining here in Kimilili, but not all fertiliser and seed has been distributed. The work for Equity Bank of processing all the forms seems to be overwhelming! And we only have just over 4500! We are trusting God that the exercise will be finished by the end of this week.
