This picture shows both barns. The first one is up and running and fully functional. We are told that it produces 70 eggs per day. When this announcement was made last Sunday at our partnership meeting there were cheers all around the room!!
This is Pastor Mmanga, pastor in charge at Uswaa and Albert, the teacher at Uroki who is in charge of the chicken project. Pastor Mmanga purchased these 8 dozen or so eggs and brought them back for use at Uswaa. He unloaded them from these egg trays and just put them in a box, John and I were skeptical that they were remain unbroken over the drive back to the church, but we were proven wrong.
I'm also fairly sure that John's six egg day was fully sponsored by the Uroki Chicken Project!
70 eggs! That's a lot of good works for one day!
ReplyDeleteI thank God to see this project achieving so much.
ReplyDeleteIt will improve not only the health of the people here but also the community mindset on running small economic projects as such.
This is socioeconomic liberation to the people of Uswaa and Tanzania at large.
Students are inspired and some have started thinking of rearing chickens when they complete the first education cycle waiting to go for the next level.
BUT I am very aware that; it did not come so easy. We were told how Our sisters and brothers in South-wood Lutheran Church fund-raised these funds. I remember been told of a pastor's CHICKEN DANCE. (just for me and my kinsmen)
Although I'm not currently working at/ serving Uroki School; I am one of the beneficiaries of your generosity. Asante sana
I feel indebted to thank you all for the Christian love you are showing us. Thank you Pastor Sara - KWA MOYO WANGU WOTE . Amen
