Book Aid International saves us off the hook

Sometimes it is until you see the peoples' appreciation on a provision that you realize how much our communities get desperate in need of certain resources.
The books we received from the Book Aid International has really given readers of all walks in the immediate society an open opportunity to quench there long awaited last for such information and knowledge.
This was a dream come true to most of the people down here, this being an area that is double stricken by both HIV/AIDS and poverty of the highest degree. The environment here is full of orphans and widows as a majority, both struggling in less faith to make their ends meet. Text books and story books are luxuries that never crossed their minds, but today the centre  sets an equal platform for all where poverty is no barrier to knowledge and information.

As we send you out

As we send you out, the free knowledge and skills that you have learnt and received from this centre, may you use it indiscriminately to serve and support the growth of the society.
The growth and future of this country is in your hands and remember that whatever you do today shall determine your tomorrow, otherwise, beware of HIV/AIDS as i wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Impact of Fire in relation to Farming in Western Kenya.

For decades now, the concept of clearing farms with fire has remained a common practice amongst the communities dwelling in the Western Kenya region. Fire is a decisive factor in cultivation: slightly burnt or unburnt areas are wholly unproductive.

This is an idea that have drawn this region tremendously back in terms of farm productions even though statistics indicate that a larger portion of this region is being used for crop production.
A fire of normal intensity of 45 C destroys all the soils nutrients and micro organisms that support the productions of this soils and that is why no matter the mass of acreage utilized for production, we still suffer of food insecurity. It would be a worthy campaign if both you and me take on this initiative of creating awareness amongst our people. This campaign requires no mass, but just a minute chat with a farmer can make a big difference. Let's meet in the field.
