I am ecxited about your idea of community supported agriculture (CSA).
I hope you would not mind sharing more on this with us. I am a retired educationist working with rural women in Kenya in an effort to help them produce enough food using elementary knowhow in agricultural practices.
I hope you would not mind being some kind of online consultant to help me hel my community groups. I direct a community based organisation called "Rachuonyo Population and Environment Management Organisation". Check us out at: http://wiserearth.org/group/rapemo
Thanks for the message. I hope with your support and the entire World Family we at the Ndnifor community Garden Project will be able to acheive our goals.
Best wishes

Thanks for your welcome! Yes, I spoke with Jocelyn last night.
I am not surprised that you feel a deep bond of friendship with Koh!
In a similar way I found myself energised to set up a project here in Farnham which owes much to Ndanifor. However that fact is not easily appreciated or understood here in West Surrey !! You can learn about our project from www.farnhamfood.com
There is a BWC website www.betterworld-cameroon.com which gives some idea about Ndanifor Community Garden in Yaounde. The UK Trust has also got video and ppt slide show material, unfortunately this is not yet available through a website/blog.
Yes, I hope we meet up soon. If the various TT initiatives in the south east UK get together to form a regional SE network hub - that might be the moment!
Warm regards,
Robert.
As you know we met Joshua Konkankoh there and I formed a very deep bond of brotherhood with him that seemed to indicate that we have work to do together. I am thinking also, somehow, of setting up a project in Brighton & Hove that mirrors what Better World Cameroon is doing in Yaounde. I don't know how, but somehow our meeting in some mysterious way charged me with this work, in addition to the work of World Family.
I understand from Jocelyn that we may be meeting and I look forward to it.
Warmest Regards,
Louis Loizou.
