Snapshot of 1st year boys

First year apprentices - Boys just before a meal!

I managed to round up the 36 first year apprentice boys to ask a general question as to how they are finding life at Ebenezer so far. The response was:

1.  Life is good
2. The food is good
3. Fantastic
4. The dorms are fine

One on one interviews will take place shortly so that you can 'meet' the apprentices and get to know a little about them.

Brief update on the chickens.......

Honest Matavire and Moreblessing Moyo were hard at work  - paper work that is - calculating numbers etc of the chickens at Ebenezer, Silozwe, Magobeni and Mablauwuni. This is what they said:




Moreblessing Moyo (Left) and Honest Matavire (Right)

1. There is a total of about 18, 424 broiler chickens in the above communities.
2. The main challenges have been yoke infection which have caused the death of quite a few chickens and water is quite a problem. The chicken farmers have to dig down to about 1 meter in the sandy river beds to get water or use the wells that have some water in them.
3.Majority of the chickens are between 1 week to 6 weeks old.
4. Generally, the farmers are doing well in looking after the chickens.
