Two weeks ago, planting season finally arrived. So, to say it was a busy time would be an understatement. In addition to some of the demonstration plots we have here at the house, we were also busy assisting the school next door to us and planting a field at our ministry centre in Ngangula. The kids got involved as well.
We decided that it would be good for them to learn the same program that we are teaching the village farmers. We are proud at just how hard they have been working. They literally spent two full days getting their small plot ready and planting the seeds. And it was awesome seeing the excitement on their faces as they began to see the maize seed begin to sprout through the soil in the last few days.
When the maize is fully grown in a few months, we'll let them harvest it and sell it to a mill just up the road. Great homeschooling project huh?

Awesome project home school or otherwise! My boys love anything that even remotely resembles farming or gardening! Well done!
