Working and Discussing

This is Robert's title.
This is a group of the farm workerd shelling beans. One of the nine varieties we grow on the farm, which will be distributed through our communities, with a view to improving diet. They take this opportunity, while working together, to discuss progress and plans. Everyone has a say and its amazing how many issues get resolved. Recent indications are that they are building into a formidable team.
Last year we introduced a savings scheme which has had a significant impact, in that they can all borrow their own collective money during the month, if a need arises. Everyone must save a fixed amount, which was factored-in as a result of a salary increase. This has reduced the stress and trauma of random incidents which happen to all of us at times, but for which Malawians generally have no fall back, but they now have a pool of money in their bank account to cover most happenings.
