Just talked to my husband in South Africa. Joseph and Jim plan to have a mass Moringa Tree planting at Joseph's place. They have been discussing things at length and are both excited about their plans. They started 200 moringa seeds. Some are for Joseph and some are for the Village of Hope, an orphanage near Lusaka, Zambia. They scheduled a four hour workshop to teach about the Moringa Tree at the Village of Hope on Saturday morning. It is on the way to pick up Duane Crumb, so that will work out well.
Joseph and his wife have three children, pay for the education of 20 orphans and feed about 100 orphans that do not stay with him. Joseph has been studying Jim's Moringa Tree information during this time down time when they are stuck in SA. To obtain necessary funds for his projects, Joseph raises 600 chickens from two days old to 3 months and then takes them across the border to the Congo to sell. It is tougher now that the price of corn is heading up because mashed corn is the staple that the orphans and chickens eat every day. They will be adding the nutritious Moringa leaves to it. If a nice percent of the trees survive maybe Joseph can start selling Moringa!
Dr T has a friend who runs a Johannesburg airport shuttle service. He will take the larger STS team to Dawid Jordaan's house when they arrive in South Africa for the night. Some of the team knows Dawid and his wife. They are awesome.
The Chevy isn't fixed yet, but several solutions are in progress. Nothing to worry about for you all who will be arriving.
