Our Youth Polytechnics are now preparing to close school after a long successful 2nd term and they will break for August holiday. We are happy to report that the term has been great and we thank God for everything. We have had plenty rainfall and the school gardens have been a good source of fresh organic vegetables for all the schools and students have been enjoying them in their school lunch program. Some youth polytechnics have been selling the surplus and the demand has been very high. Molo Youth Polytechnic agribusiness club members were able to finance themselves to participate in Nakuru Agricultural show where they were able to learn more on farming and marketing skill. They used the money they earned after selling their farm products and this has really motivated them as they realized they can do greater things on their own. We were able to conduct training on value addition and marketing in 3 youth polytechnics and we hope to do the rest next term if the schools’ program will allow. As they break for August holiday this week, as usual they have made a duty rooster that they will follow to ensure a group of club members is in school to take care of the garden and in some schools make sales of the vegetables they have in their gardens. Some of them have harvested some crops there is not much to be done.
