Harvesting

Metaha

The children went to the garden to assist with the harvesting of maize. They were divided in groups with a supervisor in each group. The grouping was to organize them so that they can work better as they had limited time. They worked for almost 2 hours before they were taken back to school. They were involved in the cultivation and weeding and now in the harvesting! This gave them a sense of ownership and they enjoyed themselves while getting the job done.

The maize will be put on top of this structure to dry. Blaundina' father visited her and came to her rescue by constructing this structure. The maize will be put on top of it to get dry.
















Maize, maize, maize.
