First Blog from East Africa

This is Dr. Michael Gonsior's blog from East Africa. Michael will be sending me images and stories as he helps the organization called East Africa Partnership engineer "Self-Sufficiency through Farming." Check out http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kenyapartnership.org%2Ffarming.html&h=01db9c1fa68205d3b524f5cc22a97104

He will be reporting from Kenya: Southern slope of Mt Kenya, 20,000 acres along the Tana River and Tanzania: Western side of Mt Kilimanjaro. Massai land. 40-60,000 acres. Presumably, at the Tana River.

Eleven million people are suffering from drought,poverty and desparately need education. The East Africa Partnership is there to help them be self-sufficient through farming. The Kenyan and Tanzanian governments have agreed to grant the East Africa Partnership between 100,000 and 300,000 acres of land free of cost and a reduction in taxes until the venture is profitable. Empowering the people of this region. Looking forward to hearing from Michael as he shares with us from the field.
