THE BEGINNING - In the Spring of 2006 we were called by the LDS Church to be short-term agricultural specialists.  We were asked to go to Uganda and Mozambique to look for projects that could help feed the people.  We were also asked to review a garden project in Zimbabwe.  We found some excellent projects in both Uganda and Mozambique, and we were especially excited about an egg-layer project in Mozambique because that is one of David’s areas of expertise. When we were leaving one village, a woman said to me, “Many churches come and say they will help, but they never come back.”  This comment was certainly on our minds when we learned that the LDS Church was not going to go forward with any projects at that time. We decided we must try to help on our own.  We were able to raise enough money to refurbish one chicken house and purchase 6,000 hens. (We have now completed the second house)  We have also started a uniform project.
