Dear Partners and supporters,
The rainy season is over. Communities are back to their seasonal activities. Students are back to school as of September and farmers are getting ready to harvest their crops. The summer rainfall season in 2016 was much better than that of 2015. Even though there was early cessation of rainfall in August.
We also have some updates about the apple trees. Almost all the apples have provided fruits this fall. In early September Berihu Gebremeskel, Medhin naizgy, Kidanu Kassahun and Gebrezgher G/yohannes are among the individuals who shined with good harvest of apples. At this stage the apples are eaten and shared with relatives. Outreach to grocery stores in the nearby town of Adigrat has started by our volunteers in the hope of buying the fruits and sell them. Many of the households who did not have apple trees are demanding that they be supported with the supply of seedlings in the summer of 2017.
As noted in previous reports there is an acute shortage of water in the village. It is reported that the improved rains as wells as the water recharge ponds have improved the capacity of springs to provide water. Even though there is fear that water supply might be reduced at the height of the dry season the springs have recovered and are providing a good amount of water to the community.
All the above positive improvements is due to your continued support. Thank you.
