Today we want to spend some time with the women in Ndop. These women have collectively hired about 5 hectare of fertile fields where the aim to cultivate beans and corn. Once they are more settled in what they do, they want to expand their range.
The group we met consisted of approx 25 women. A few of these women had leadership tasks one of whom almost finished her agricultural diploma.
Generally the yield is used for own consumption, the rest is sold to supplement incomes and buy new seeds. A win win situation.
We thoroughly enjoyed meeting these keen and dedicated women. Once again we were impressed with their perseverance, commitment and fortitude.
Later that afternoon we made our third school visit and not unexpectedly we again enjoyed the visit immensely. One of the children hogged my lap and others crowded around Jaap en Hans receiving lots of attention.
All in all another satisfying and thought provoking day!
