We are so happy to announce a new project, our CBMS Nutrition and School Garden Project. The garden will provide the most essential food for the school children. It is a half-acre (2020 sq m) plot near our new temporary school facilities. This project is being realised with the help of the children, community volunteers and a whole list of Nabuur volunteers.

Most noticeably, we are excited to have the help of the following volunteers,

* Daniel in Nairobi (project assistance)
* Ron in England (project management)
* Ken in the States (small-scale farming, drip irrigation system)
* Malcolm in South Africa (small-scale organic farming)
* Our Dutch student team, or Marte Group (documentation and presentation of project developments)
* Lia in Germany (project coordination)

As the project develops, all of the activities will be presented on this website and blog posts.

Further project phases include more long term and short term sustainable farming for food security practices, co-partnerships with other small scale farmers in Kimilili, setting up nutrition courses and creating cooking courses in the school for the students and community.

Hi!

We are a Dutch team of 5 five high school students. I will introduce our team here:

The chairperson is Marte, so you may call us the Marte group. We're involved with the project through school and we're connected with the organisation Worldschool. At school we visited a presentation of Worldschool.

We were interested and motivated to do and help people in Kenya. We formed a group, so here are we:  Marte (17), Francine (17), Jelmer (17, almost 18), Nurana (16) and Leande (16, almost 17). We're in high school and we're doing this project as a graduating project.

We have three months to work on it, because at 16 April we have to be finished and present our work to people of the Worldschool organisation.

Soon as possible we try to make a plan for planting the first seeds. We're getting started!

Regards,

The Marte Group
