Marlin has just returned!

Marlin Rice (our Cornerstone ag project leader for the Hope Center) has just returned from Serenje. A report will follow, but here are some pictures of the land. Keep in mind that just a few months ago this land was completely uncultivated and was covered in grass and small trees. Here's a peek into what it looks like now...

This is a field of "groundnuts" (peanuts) which are a great source of protein for the Hope Center kids.


Here is "cassava" - the tuberous roots are eaten as a source of carbs.


Here are dry beans, another source of protein


Here is the future bath house for the kids


Check out the new roof on the multi-purpose building...


Here's the crew. Can you tell which one is Randy Brekke (Cornerstoner)?
