Water Filters, Bag Gardens, Grading Papers, Oh My! Part 2

Bag Gardens

Mike, Glen, and I were glad to help to plant 11 mango, 3 orange, and 3 guava trees at the Tanzanite Primary school.  We were also able to start 3 bag gardens that will produce kale, chines cabage, onions, and night shade.  Joseph (the principal/ headmaster) and a handful of students really pitched in.  They were so eager to plant.  You may notice some of their banana trees and garden in some of the pictures.

After we finished the trees, we had many seedlings left over.  Glen donated the seedlings to the community.  Seventeen women left with a bag (like the one in the picture above) filled with vegetable seedlings.  

As we left, we stopped by the Mbuguni Church and planted 3 fruit trees at the church and left about 5 fruit trees to Nyari (the Mbuguni preacher). 

It was great to be able to help connect the church with the school and vice-versa.
