Resp_Comments:
This is a new home, so need many trees to make it beautiful. At the farm I wont plant any.

Mama Naomi wants help with the gully - it is taking all the land away.  Her five sons do not have a place to build their huts.

ICRAF puts us to work on trees but does not pay. We have even asked for wheel-barrows for fetching water to no avail.

If there is any monetary help you can provide, it will be welcome. NB: Only the husband (absent at time of interview) can point out the place for planting trees.


Resp_Comments:
There are weeds (ataro, odielo, kayongo) that make life very difficult. How do we get rid of them?


Resp_Comments:
What happened to the seedlings you had promised before?


Resp_Comments:
No comments, but note: The location for tree planting was rather far, and the farmer was too busy to take me there.


Resp_Comments:
What happened to the lady who promised to pay me per month for my 1 acre to be used in planting trees?


Resp_Comments:
If only ICRAF could provide loans to help us help each other.
