Day 1
Pretty anticlimactic...we were just getting a lay of the land. We followed a group of students visiting from Tufts and were able to get a brief overview about the health and agriculture curriculum taught at the trainings. We also brainstormed a lot for our media campaign.
Day 2
Off to a fun start! Ryan and I got to the farm early this morning and got to work with Jared, the Agriculture fellow, chopping wood for the biochar trial. Biochar (in very simple terms) is the product of burning wood in a way that turns the wood into fertilizer instead of ash. We will blog later with more details relating to the biochar, but the trial is just getting started. Check out instagram (@middglobemed) for a funny picture of Ryan chopping a branch with a machete! We will be reformatting and editing translations of Turi Kumwe reports. More on Turi Kumwe tomorrow :)
