Agnes' maize is getting tall and the groundnuts (peanuts) are also looking good. |
A beautiful foggy morning in the valley of River Nzoia. The structure on the left is the 'choo' (outhouse). |
Soon the sun comes up, for the start of another day. |
View from the outhouse (on top of a termite hill). Maize on the left, groundnuts (peanuts) on the right. |
Lots of red beans. |
Two kinds of greens, planted on a termite hill. |
Finger millet |
Cow peas |
Adu heads out to fetch water and also gives Zach a ride part-way to school. Abraham, a young neighbor boy, looks on. |
Duane and Zach really enjoyed these simple airplanes. Be sure to see the video below! |
The older boys, Pope and Adu, are thrilled with their newly cemented floor, table, and chairs! (Tony was away at school) |
The older boys now have two small lights in their house. Pope and a neighbor, Levi, install the solar panel on the roof. |
A pretty morning in the grassy yard |
The entire farm has now been fenced! |
Agnes sits by her newly-built 'smokeless jiko' in her kitchen. It uses less firewood and burns more efficiently for quicker cooking. |
The older boys' house on the left, kitchen in the center, and the main house on the right. |
Their dog is scrawny just like almost all dogs in Kenya. |
On this visit, as well as my last one in May, I did some painting in the sitting (living) room. It really brightened up the place! |
Agnes loves her new home! |
