Floods
The Nduli area got heavy rainfall on the December 11. In some parts of the village, there were a flood which was unexpected situation in Nduli. The rainfall caused part of the plot to be swept out by the flooded water (see the pictures). Seeds and fertilizers were washed out. We visited the area and advised them to do replanting as soon as possible. The replanting was done few days later.

Conclusion
This is one of the place where demonstration plots are doing very well. Pastor and parish members are very committed to the program. We expect the same success this year too.
