6th Visit Year Two

College Tumaini University (Theology Students)
Companion Augustana, W. St. Paul
Reporters Gabriel and Ibrahim
Students were in the middle of end of semester examinations. However we meet with their leader. He gave us the yield report and the remarks of the plot
1. Harvesting
Amounts in kg/plot ( ½ Acre) Remarks
Corns 367.5 kg The drought has reduced yield in this area.
Beans 47.5 kg
2. Storage
We instructed him on how to store grain for home usage and for selling at the time of high price. We instructed how to mix grain storage pesticides “shumba” and the appropriate volume of grain per bottle recommended. We left the pesticides to him to mix with their harvested grains.
3. Plots
Beans and corn:
They have not performed better because of the drought. Moreover sometimes it was difficult to do the practices in the right time because the schedule did not go together with the university schedule eg. Examinations and holidays
4. Participants
He told us 18 students have been active participats in the demonstration plots program. However some of them are now going for the internships to various parishes for a year so they will not be around.
Conclusions
We asked the leader to give us the information early about the participants in the coming farming seasons. Moreover we told them it’s the University that has the authority to offer certificates of participation and not the Institute (Earlier they asked as to prepare certificates of participation to the program to the finalists).

Visit Report
4th Visit Year two
January 23rd, 2010
Village Tumaini University Students (Theology)
Companion Augustana
Attendees 4 Students and 3 people from nearby farms
Weather for the past month Rainy
Reporters Ibrahim, Gabriel and Roger
Purpose of the visit
• Planting bean and fertilizer application demonstrations
• Demonstration on second fertilizers application in corn
• Deliver fertilizer bags, Bean seeds, bottle spray, and insecticides
Topics
1. Greetings
Roger gave greetings and explained the importance of following the techniques we instructed.
2. Went through the handouts
o 4th Visit handout
o Quiz handout
3. Demonstrations
We demonstrated how to measure inter row spacing (30cm). Using a string and a hand hoe it was demonstrated how to make a trench for planting the bean seeds. One seed was placed after every 10 cm. It was demonstrated how to place one full bottle cap of fertilizer between 2 seeds i.e. Seed-seed-fertilizer-seed-seed-fertilizer etc.
4. Fertilizer and seed delivery
According to the analysis of the soil of this area, the type of fertilizer recommended was NPK (10-18-24) for bean seed planting. The congregation was given 2 NPK bags and 40 Kg of bean seeds, variety of bean seeds delivered is UYOLE 96. We also delivered 2 bags (50 Kg each) of CAN for second fertilizer application to corn field.
Comments
They came with sprayer (15 litres size) ready to spray their corn just after receiving the insecticides.
They hired oxen to cultivate the bean field, because it was hard to organize students to go chip off the weeds due to different semester timetable.
We had only 4 students, even though the expectation was over 15 students, this was due to one of the lecturers who decided to have a review class with them on Saturday the day we had schedule to meet them.
Questions from audience and answers
They asked about the bean spacing and why we changed from 50 cm by 9 cm.
The answer is yes, but we also want to have a higher plant population for a better yield.
If they don’t have enough fertilizer as we recommend what they can do?
We suggested to them to use manure (compost) or to go for large spacing that will give them maximum plant population per area.
Conclusions/Recommendations
We told them that this program is conducted in 20 villages/parishes and we are hoping to add ten more parishes 2011. We emphasized the importance of them following instructions because in the future after graduating from Tumaini University they will be posted in one of the parishes that have been trained or haven’t been trained. They will need to be good teachers to train people in their parishes. The success of the program depends upon them following what we instructed. They promised to follow all the instructions.
