Jaydene, the volunteer we wrote about last month, has agreed to come one or two days each week to help supervise and manage the project while we’re in CAR. This will be a relief to Roy and a great help to the main farm manager, Zweli, who sometimes can have his hands full with other farm tasks. She’ll be able to make sure things are weeded and watered, which will free up time for taking Zweli out to the schools where Roy & he planted fruit trees with kids and teachers last year. She’s already got this Wednesday on her schedule for going out to the townships. We heard that Zweli had to urge her to go home a bit early at the end of the day because a big rain storm was coming. She wanted to stay and finish what she was doing.
We just found out that she got excited about doing community work having to do with sharing God’s love through agriculture and environment as a result of hearing Roy talk at a young people’s bible study a couple of years ago. What a gift, to be able to have her as a help at the Back 2 Eden project!
