Since this is distant located village and the road conditions are not reliable during the rain season, we had to deliver corn and bean seeds this time of the year. Upon our arrival, people started to gather in the church which is on the top of the hill. There was no Evangelist; we had two church elders who helped us to organize the demonstration meeting. In this visit we went with the Micro finance personal, Itiweni Luhwago.

Purposes of the visit
• To measure the plot
• To demonstrate on planting of corn and beans
• To deliver corn seeds, bean seeds and fertilizers
Topics
1. Review of the handouts
• 3rd Visit Instruction
• Plant population with 60 cm. rows and Fertilizer applications
• Fertilizer needs template
2. Demonstration
o Planting and fertilizer applications
The demo plot is outside the church. We measured the plot then demonstrated on how to plant and how to apply fertilizers. We insisted that they should not place seeds and fertilizers together. There should be at least 5cm apart. The spacing is 60×20cm for corn and 30×10cm for beans. Fertilizers should be applied to both corn and beans.
3. Rain gauge
We instructed them on how to record rainfall. We gave them a rain gauge and ask them to start recording as soon as the rain starts.

We delivered corn and bean seeds and fertilizers

Conclusion
We might make another visit to this area in this year; however this will depend with the road situation. We told them that they should communicate with us on the progress of the demonstration plots. Whenever there pests and disease they should call us and we will send pesticides for controlling them.
