Ntichi
Interesting lunch for a nutrition lecture…
Say hello to the African witchcraft egg. One bite will set your whole body on fire.
Every morning the rooster crows at 4:30am. Since we have been going to bed around 9:00pm this rooster serves as my morning alarm clock. I am usually up between 5 and 6 in the morning, which would normally be very early for me!
We ate breakfast and by 7:30am we were out of the house and on our way to the CBF office to meet with a few other people and head to the small village of Ntichi. After about two hours, three police stops, a trip to the police station to pay an outdated car insurance fee, we arrived at the village.
This week CBF started their garden module training with agricultural leaders throughout Malawi. The first course is on drip irrigation, the one that we observed today.
A man flew in from New York to give the training, which lasted from 10:00am to about 3:00pm in the evening. Andrew and I are now experts in drip irrigation and plan on having the best veranda garden in all of Los Angeles when we return.
After the training I was able to speak with all the leaders and administers my survey. First day, success! We headed back to the city at around 5:00pm and arrived home at 6:30, just in time to help with dinner. We enjoyed a delicious meal of nsima (corn flour boiled in water), nkhuku (chicken), lepu (greens), and Nyemba (beans). We pray before every meal with George and his family… something I truly love about where we live. We are blessed.
