Ditch Update
Here are a few pictures of progress made on the first of two drainage ditches we’re installing out at Ciyanjano. The drainage work will be a vast improvement so that the new fence line doesn’t get damaged with heavy rains.

Nice work! Looks great. Have you had any big storms since you put this in??

Yes, lots of storms – though this rainy season has left many farmers around here feeling disappointed. The rains haven’t been coming like years past. The whole reason we put these drainage ditches in was because of the massive watershed that the property has. When torrential downpours have come little rivers began washing out beneath the fence line and sometimes debris was washed up again the fence. With proper drainage, the fence line remains in tact and the water passes on towards the creek. We need to install two more drains when we get the funding. But the two worst spots are taken care of. Jailos and Boniface did a fantastic job!
