Transplanting lemon seedlings

This is Robert and Benidicto transplanting lemon seedlings grown on the co-operative farm in Doroba. We gave the women there a contract to grow 3000 for us to enable them to pay back their loan on the 22 acre farm that we bought for them in May 2012. They have now paid back 20% of their loan, have made bricks for their building project of a house for a caretaker and sheds for cattle and pigs. Not bad for a group of 16 women and five men who will soon own land for the first time. On this project we are working with the Ministries of Agriculture and Agro-forestry.
