26th July 2017:
 
From: Prominence and Lusungu
 
Venue: Andrea Moyo village
 
Attendance: G.V.H Andrea Moyo, V.H Mukowera, the community, Wells for Zoe team (Laston, Lusungu, Promminence and Benjamin)
 
Activities:
·      Teaching the community on how to make nussary beds for pine seeds
·      How to sow it on the nursery bed
·      How to make a shelter for the nursery bed and cover it
·      Lastly how to water the nursery and protect seedlings from pest and diseases using Tephrosia
 
Remarks:
·      The GVH Andrea Moyo, VH Mukwewra and the Community were very interested and curious about all that we were teaching them.
·      The GVH and VH said they are really intrested in agro- forestry and they asked us about blue-gum seeds too. So we gave them blue-gum seed and we will go back in early September to teach them on how to sow them.
 

The most intresting thing is that, they showed us the Mtangatanga nursery  which have just started germinating. This gave us a picture that they are indeed intrested in agro-forestry to assist women on fire wood so they should not be walking long distances.
