This organization offers services and recreation for people living with disabilities in and around Ramotswa. The garden project is a way for those who are unemployed to support themselves by selling the produce. This Friday, a group of healthcare workers came out to the farm to help out. We cleared a field for planting, weeded, and worked on leveling an adjacent area to put in a cement slab for wheelchair basketball and tennis.

| The whole group. The man kneeling in the front left is Moffat (director of disability services), one of the people Becky works with at DHMT. The man in the wheelchair in the front right is David, aka "Rre Martin Luther King". He is the director of SESAD. He has an amazing story, partially captured in an interview, which I will try to post after I can translate it. |
Cool! Were you able to use your pre-service training on double-digging and drought-resistant gardening on this project? It's fun to see photos of some of the people you work with. I'm looking forward to the translation of the interview with David.
