My friends in Rwanda asked what would be growing in my own vegetable garden when I got home. This is what I found.
Starting a keyhole garden on my allotmentIt's three weeks since I arrived home. Already I'm planning further visits in October 2009 and February 2010. Between now and then I shall be giving talks - with plenty of photos; also following leads on urban food production, soil fertility, and links with agencies in Rwanda; looking into getting charitable status in the UK for AGLI's work; and giving critical thought to what I should be offering as a European amateur volunteer.
Meantime there's my own allotment, where I'm applying more of the techniques I was teaching in Rwanda. Yesterday I started building a keyhole garden. Now I'm waiting for rain to settle the soil.
Do ask me if you'd like an informal talk or a formal presentation to any interested group. Do write if you have any input to take my planning forward. Don't expect much in the way of posts till after the summer.
Dear Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteWe have a project next week, and were wondering if you would be available online to respond to questions from students regarding development/aid/conflict resolution in Rwanda. I am in the Oregon Health & Science University Masters in Public Health program, which is all online. I see no other way to contact you other than commenting in your blog. My email address is mcadamde@ohsu.edu. Thanks very much for any assistance you could give to us.
