Visit to a Farm and Soccer


In the morning we all went into Kapiri. Harley and I went to a short meeting with some officials regarding the water wells while Milt and Logan went to have coffee and a chat with Khalil. We all then went out to Khalil's farm just east of Kapiri as he wanted to show it to us. With cattle, sheep and goats around it reminded me very much of the place I grew up on in Zimbabwe although a very much smaller scale and we had a pleasant couple of hours walking around seeing everything. He has a good selection of bulls and so does well at breeding his own stock. There is obviously a lot of potential for farming in the area if set up and managed properly. Later in the afternoon we went to Sungula school for a community league soccer game. As usual a lot of excitement at Logan playing on one of the teams (which won the match !) while the rest of us were supporters on the side lines. The game was disrupted by a heavy rain storm during which everyone took shelter in the classrooms but it soon passed and the game resumed and was completed.
