Foundations for Farming in Pahuwa

Our friends Johannes and his assistant, Isaac, from Foundations for Farming taught composting in the village of Pahuwa yesterday.  

19 men and 49 women attended. They learned that what is most important is to first of all offer ourselves to God and then honor him in all we do, including how we farm.



They also learned that in nature God has already given them what they need to be successful farmers. 

Johannes encouraged them to think about their field as a bank account. If you only take out and never give back, your account will become empty. 

As they were watching the video, the room was buzzing with Oohs and Aaahs when they were shown lush green fields of tall maize and video testimonials from Malawian farmers.

The people were asked to start gathering their materials, and in a week or so, we will return and give hands on instruction in compost making.
