It's almost time for the Northern Region Food Security Youth Camp! Aka a camp for 30 lucky middle school/high school kids to learn everything from better food storage practices, diversifying foods, improving nutrition and much more. The camp (renamed Camp GLAD- Growing leaders in Agriculture Development) begins Thursday and finished Tuesday. I'll let you all know how it goes!
As for the Moringa going on in my village it's been going slow. We've had a drought for the last two weeks so we were unable to transfer the seedlings to their permanent location. It was very lucky that we didn't plant the moringa though because the drought would have definitely killed much of the moringa. Hopefully this drought will end soon though, for all the farmers sake!
I'm training for a Marathon that will be held in the capital of Ghana (Accra) at the end of September. In order to get a good idea of how far I'm actually running Ran and I measured out 3 miles using a 100m tape measure. So in case you were wondering how we pass time here sometimes.... I still need to measure out 4 more miles. Wish me luck.
