Jatapara Village, India

Last month we sowed good quality maize seed, hoping to get better yields. Usually people keep maize seed left over from the previous year of cultivation; this is the traditional way. Most of the time these stocks ended up destroyed due to a lack of care. This time we bought and sowed seeds from the seed storehouse provided by the government to see what the difference will be from the previous harvest.

Recently I visited the Women’s Empowerment Centre (WEC2) in West Bamyan. The hygiene and English classes are going well, and the students started a new English book called Speak Now 4. Due to their school schedule, we are teaching English classes two times a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, six days a week.

Almost all the children were present. We asked the children what their parents said about the class. They said that their parents were happy that the classes are going on and hoping that COVID-19 would not stop the ongoing classes.

We are happy with the progress that teachers are making, encouraging the parents to send their children to school to further their education. The children are also making progress in their studies.
