A new farmer............

Ba Annabella's son Chris had given three PCVs a ride after they visited my post home and went over to Lake Bangweulu......turned out that the Mom had registered herself to do fish pond farming, but did not know where and how to start.....PCVs suggested her to contact me. 
 
I was so impressed of Ba Anna that she had been in bus accident and lost left arm, but inside of her, she is 100% as positive, as active as any healthy people can be. 
Of course, we work together greatly.
On her land, it was so much water at early February, so we made furrow to drain it to prepare for the construction for two fish ponds........
On spot near to the furrow, one spring water like leak was getting heavier and heavier....
We had to find termite dirt to crush and to seal the leak.......
I only learned this from the training, never had to use it yet...... 
Whao.....isn't it great when you have a chance to prove something you learned is really working........
So we had the water where we want it and not anywhere we don't need.
Ba Anna has all workers hired, so the progresses of her ponds were not as fast as the farmers who is working for their own ponds.
