Thanks Shirleen for your words of encouraging to us. This Diary project has brought knowledge and experience to the group of the youth leading the project. We are still to learn more from the international experiences in the Dairy Farming. Therefore we are appealing to the International Volunteers or students with experiences in Animal Husbandry to visit us and join us to explore this unique project in Dromankese. The farm has been recently extended to keep pigs also.
Share Resources and Successful Poultry Farming Techniques

Another area that CAPEC is considering for income-generation on Bitame Lucia Nursery School grounds is poultry farming. This is again something that many villages at Nabuur have incorporated into their projects. For this task, we are seeking examples of successful poultry farming techniques and best practices. We plan to use this information to write up a basic project plan, so please summarize your findings.
The hope is that income generated from this and the other projects will support building a proper toilet and a playground to improve the school grounds.

Snails are a popular food in Cameroon. Bitame Lucia Nursery School is considering multiple options for incoming generation to help financial support and sustain the school.
There are multiple resources available on the Internet about snail farming, so for this task, we would like to ask volunteers to help us research this as a potential income-generation activity. If you find specific sources, please summarize the important points. We will then use this information to develop a basic project plan.

Over the last months Tanja and I have gathered a good pool of links, pdf, videos, and bookmarks of information concerning small-scale farming and gardening practices. We really need someone to weed through this jungle of information and make sense of it all. This would entail looking at the sites and media information and categorizing and writing up a reference of this information. Or, equally, working with a bookmarking plattform (e.g. diigo), but actually tagging the information more sensibly than I have done.

Hello Emmanuel,
One way of getting your attention. I want to speak to Emannuel. And I hope with respect that this is Emmanuel that I am talking to now. Because I respect you Emmanuel after all you I believe is from the location where all is happening. Right. Way back, early stages of my requests for Jinkfuin Project Estimation Cost, that was the time I got this Estimation cost: It freak me out just to see the mentioned of "testing for HIV" . This is attached to Emmanuels explaination on Nabuur Site. If Emmanuel himself reply to me I would have discussed this alot earlier.

Hi Ken, thanks a lot for these links! The school does not own any land yet, but we might be able to use the information at a later stage, once the school is able to buy some land.

Poverty has enhanced illiteracy in Manyatta slums where there is very high population with low income earners. Many guardians resort to, addicts of illicit brews, a very common business in the area.
Their are very bright children but they cannot go to school due to either complete schoool uniform or inability to pay tuition fee.
YGC admits all Orphans and Vulnerable children with or without uniform.The challenge now is how to maintain the staffs. If we get neighbors who can pay tution fee for this bright and needy children..we are sure the staff will be able to get pay.

Hi Emmanuel-
Happy New Year! It sounds like the youth have already done some research about what they want to do. If goats and poultry are the things that they believe would be most successful, I would suggest developing a business plan around those ideas. I know you've already started with the chickens, has anyone started with goats? Are these goats used for milk?
Have the youth formed any type of cooperative farming group?
All the best-
Jennifer
