Project Update The next honey harvest will take place in September 2008. This was not an easy task for the organization. In the aftermath of a tropical depression as well as Hurricane Noel which devastated the area in October 2007, many of the boxes sustained significant damage (23 were salvageable). Damaged boxes were fixed but the organization had to purchase 9 additional boxes. Although the bee population disappeared in the aftermath of the hurricane, they have now returned to the area. Lambi Fund's staff, our regional monitor and SASH members met in February 2008. At that meeting, it was agreed that the project would be accelerated. Due to efforts put forth by all parties involved, critical training sessions were conducted in April 2008, and the material needed to proceed with the project was purchased in May 2008.
What remains to be done:
• Purchase of 30 more boxes • Additional training for members Project Impact The organization expressed satisfaction about its partnership with the Lambi Fund and has worked diligently to ensure the project's successful implementation. Once the honey is harvested, SASH members will be able to sell the honey and improve their financial condition. SASH members have also demonstrated their determination to succeed in spite of natural disasters, political turmoil and at times the scarcity of materials.
