Murals

Today Ceila, Karamana and I added some needed color to KACH's interior and welcomed help when the children returned from school at 4pm.

Just a little love and color makes everything a bit brighter !!!!

Field Trip

A day on the road.... we went to a nursery owned by John an amazing horticulturist who has been trying many new varieties from Embu and always improving his plant stock. He fed us yellow and red tree tomatoes and export grade avocados and sent us off with red bananas and purple sweet potatoes. We stopped by our friend Ayub's to collect the Amani gate and buy some vines for the entrance to KACH that will climb to the second story. We also visited a lovely garden Karamana had found to get ideas.

11 Acres

Monday Kathy, Bernard, Chris and I set off from KACH on foot and after a lovely walk through forests of thitonia and an alley of grevillia trees we came to the 11 acres. I actually looked at this land in 2008 with Karambu and even at that time saw it's huge potential. Currently Karambu is renting it and planted a supply of maize and beans, It would be an amazing avocado orchard. It is set on a slight hill with a view of surrounding mountains and it's back to the forest. There is a very nice house that has been sitting empty. Chris and i immediately saw the possibility for a country guest house that could generate good income for KACH and provide a magical farm experience. At Present we are trying to raise funds to get some more help to plant the land before the rains stop as well as looking into a potential purchase. Surprisingly it is quite expensive and the owner is asking around $75,000USD.

Sugar Cane Kids

A little afternoon sweet snack....I was just sitting in the garden and soon come Clifford, Mercy and Bessy with a bucket and sticks of sugar cane.. sure enough it was devoured in a matter of minutes!
