First thing this morning we finished our measurements on the fields by the river. We said our good-byes to Froedrick, his wife (whose birthday is today) and their son Blessings and their daughter Margaret. On the way "home" we stopped at the Macphearson farm and saw his processing area for his cattle, his animal records system, and veterinary supplies. We also visited his Butchery - a model of
cleanliness and efficiency.
Derek had to cut our time short as he had been called away to a village that had been alarmed by a lion attacking their cattle. He planned to capture and relocate the lion. He offered that we could join him - we declined to continue on our schedule.
We returned t
o our "home" at Salima village, ate a fabulous tuna sandwich, and left for the nearby village of Mtsiliza. COTN feeds just under 500 children in this village once a day and also cares for orphans - one girl's and one boy's
home. Mary and Innocent took turns proudly showing us their homes. We saw the facility used to fees the children (though they had finished by the time that we arrived).
