Just a little note to start a series of posts about my visit to Malawi in Jan 2022 and the exciting work I witnessed while there. I arrived in Mzuzu on 7th and left on 22nd and it was pretty hectic in between.
Today seed distribution has occurred at Ehleheni, Traditional Authority Mzikuwola, in Mzimba district. 50,000 seeds and tubes have been distributed to two clubs comprising 20 members each.
Since we focused on planting indigenous trees this year the really serious work has been to find seeds suitable for growing the wide range of Climate, Altitude and Soil conditions we encounter over a large area from Central to Northern Malawi.
Today we went to distribute seeds and monitor nurseries at Jolozi. This place is very far from Mphompha. It took us two hours on a motorbike from Mphompha to arrive to this area.
Today we continued with nursery monitoring. After a flat tyre wiped out our day we very luckily linked up with people for indigenous seeds collection. They have collected 50kg of Mbula and same of Mng'ona.
We travelled to Misuku on Monday 17th August, 2020 in the company of Harisen. Some seeds like Msangu that we gave them at first place have just started germinating.
Today we continued with nursery monitoring and comparing the number of tubes and seeds received versus with what has been sown on the nursery beds. 12 club nurseries have been monitored from different villages.
Today we have distributed 47,000 seeds and tubes. The areas are Chiwelera and Kasela, TA Kawomba and Njombwa respectively.
We visited and distributed seeds at Mphomwa area where interestingly the clubs are composed of youths. 16,000 seeds and tubes have been distributed. Each club has received 4,000 seeds.
