Dave Husby, Covenant World Relief (CWR) director, came to visit, along with John & Letha Kerl, our Covenant missionary regional coordinators. \u00a0 It was so great to be able to show them around the farm, especially because CWR has been a HUGE contributor to the CEFA non-profit organization. \u00a0Roy and colleagues were able to show our visitors the gamut of work on the farm; from fishponds to experimental crops, from turkeys to massive seed production to alleviate the coming food crisis which we are expecting as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country. \u00a0Whole villages have been deserted, which means farms are not being worked, and now, the beginning of rainy season, is the time to start planting!<\/p>\n
