Beekeeping Training

 The Beekeeping Training took place this past weekend. I wrote a lengthy post on it on my main site here: Beekeeping Post

Thank you to all who have been keeping up with the project!

Funding Received and Project Underway!

Hi everyone, I have a big update today! Casey and I funded our project (thank you to all who donated!!!) and we received the money from Peace Corps! After the money arrived in Casey's account, we held a meeting (Sunday March 10th) where we gave the group members their revised business plans and explained our next steps. We delegated tasks to the leader of each beekeeping group to insure that each group was creating working relationships with suppliers of beekeeping materials (my group leader) and the beekeeping trainer in Ngaoundere (Casey's group leader). Part of the beekeeping materials (beekeeping suits and smokers) are already ordered and paid for and are set to arrive in Ngaoundere on Monday! We have put a down payment on the ruches (the bee hives) and the date for the training is set for April 5th-7th. So soon! We are very exciting to get going on this, especially because rainy season is really coming on. I am writing this during a very gloomy and rainy day in my village, power is out, and I am trying to get it posted before my solar battery runs out of juice to charge my laptop. That's how you know it's rainy season! I will post again soon, hopefully with updates on the results of the training. See yeeso and Au revoir!
