Rehoboth

We spent the morning meeting with the principal of Rehoboth High and Dr. Lemer High. They both invited us back to work with their students. After meeting our meeting with Dr. Titus at Rehoboth HS he allowed us to walk the campus where we saw many of the learners that we have worked with for the past few years.

One of them ran up to us to show us a polariod picture we took with them in 2005 after the Choose To Wait classes.

One teacher spoke with me for a short time and thanked us for coming on campus. She said our presence alone made a big statement to the learners.

In the afternoon we had a meeting with George and Terry at the garden. It was winter so there was not much growing, but the harvest pictures we saw were amazing. George said people drove all the way from Windhoek (1.5 hours away) to buy the corn.

George also planted 80 orange trees in the past few weeks.


Terry works with the catering company (Independence Caterers) that has agreed to buy all the product that is grown in the garden. He has also agreed to buy 150 loaves of bread a day if George can produce that much. George's plans are to take the profit from the garden and the bakery and use them to fund their care and compassion ministry. Independent Caterers has supplies food a raw materials to the Namibian government. I'm not sure how large their operations is, but I do know it is large.

Development which turns into self funding for relief and also builds more development. This is exactly what we learned is the best model for a sustainable future. George is amazing.
