The community fogon at the elementary school is built and the house for it is enclosed and has its roof, doors and windows and is just missing a few touches!
So what does this mean? It means all of the basic components of the project are complete. What does that mean? It means its time for an in-project celebration! We bought some meat and supplies with the womens committes funds and will have a party with some tunes at the community shed/tinglado!
Then what? Cant just party and let it go! We will continue with meetings and do some cooking classes together and with the kids at the school for healthier recipes and proper use of fogones. Baked empanadas are a current favorite, much less oil and much cheaper.
Then? I was hoping for a solicitude for seeds to have arrived but unfortunately it hasnt. The majority are planting their own, bought or found.
Ha upei? And Then? Yeah, some prices went up and some went down so there is leftover funds. Not much, but enough to do a few things. We made a worm growing tank for compost for community gardens. A local engineer will donate the worms or we will buy them from German town nearby. We made the tank out of the leftover bricks and cement. There are still funds and I believe I will work with the agricultural committee to get those interested in a modern bee hive. A lot of people are lacking that startup infrastructure and the more bees, the more honey theyll have and then the more hives and tools they can buy for themselves. A local cooperative will also supply more advanced tech classes on beekeeping for those interested. Should be fun!
All for now, what a hoot!

That's way cool. Germany is the only country in the world that has a place named "Worms," so it's appropriate you'd buy some from their settlers.
ReplyDeleteOn a somewhat less frivolous note, congratulations on a big public health/ economic/ environmental/ infrastructural success. And I bet those empanadas taste great. :-)
