Mk's travel to a local farm

One day we took all the children about 3 kilometers from our camp to a farm. The farm manager, Bilison, took us around to see all the animals. They had pigs, goats, ducks, guinea fowl, chickens, rabbits, donkeys, and cows. Bilison showed us how they are experimenting with different types of fertilizer for their maize to see which does the best. He showed us how they burn bricks too. After our ox cart ride around the property, Miriam, who is a missionary from Holland, had some refreshments for us all at her home. We all had such a great time!


The kids enjoyed holding this little baby goat.




They had lots of rabbits.


They taught us how people mold and burn bricks. This is where they place the bricks inside and bake them.



They hooked up the ox cart....




...and we went for a ride.


Eli enjoyed watching all the goats.


There is a grinding mill on the farm where people can bring their maize and have it ground into mealie meal
