Octoeber 16 was the World Food Day. For the first time we had this event going on in Maai Mahiu Town. Many people from the New formed Naivahsa District came to see and acknowledge the efforts of different individuals and groups to fight hunger that has continued to torment many especially in the Africa continent.
Many farmers who have been working so hard to grow some food despite the harsh conditions in this dry region came to bring the ideas and sytems that have worked.
CTC was not left behind. The drip irragation systems have been attracting many in this community as they have seen them thrive in our demontration gardens at Ngeya Primary school and the Shosho Shamba.
The ministry of Agriculture in Naivasha District recognized our efforts and gave CTC a certificate to recognize the good work CTC has been doing in this community. Malaika Mums and the shoshos were dancing with joy as their efforts were being mentioned among the many who attended.
We are now having an extra problem to deal with. People want to install drip systems on their pieces of land, especialy those who have som water. I think this is a good problem to deal with.
Our exhibition was attracting many as we had a big banner printed with our mission. The winner system of the day was the bucket drip system as the guests acknoledged that many could afford it and provide some food for the needy families.
We are keeping up the spirit as we continue to serve, bring sustainable change and make a difference in peoples lives. Go CTC, Go all our Partners.i
