I would just like to take a moment to welcome all the new neighbours to Kabondo and thank all the existing neighbours for their continued contributions!
Eric and the community has been busy recently with visitors to the community and preparing for new ones to come. Recently, Dr. Lucy Steinitz visited Kabondo on behalf of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, to make an assessment for a proposal submitted to the SLF. Next week, some visitors from the University of Western Ontario (Canada) will be visiting as well to discuss some potential projects in the area.

Hi Melissa!
I had to laugh at your last post! I do the same thing!
I think that there are multiple options for making the blankets. As you mention (and I think in another post) that old strips of fabric can be used to either crochet or weave. This is a good way to turn old unusable items to new use. There is wool and yarn and other fabrics as well. There is knitting, crocheting, weaving, sewing, etc.
I think now it is a matter of the following:
-
* deciding what skills are locally available
* what materials are readily available
Avocado - Possible Income Generating Activity
Step:
2
Avocados are grown fairly easily in Kabondo, which is located in one of two areas in Kenya that can grow them. The community would like to examine the possibility of turning avocados into an income-generating idea including the production of value-added products (such as oil for beauty products or use in cooking/food preparation).
Help us gather research on the possible uses of avocados and its parts (oil, seed, leaves, skin, etc). Any ideas are welcome!

Hi Everyone,
Glad to have you here. You mention an interest in water and medically related areas. Here are some specific tasks for that as well as some others that are not related to these.
