Introducing the Seed Blog!

Time to insert a little bit of PR into my personal blog. Today it is my pleasure to introduce the new official Seed Southern Africa Blog!

https://southernafricaseed.wordpress.com/

Don't worry, I'm not abandoning this blog. You can still come back here for (occasional) personal reflections and stories as always. The Seed Blog however is a wonderful platform to learn more about the Seed Program as it unfolds in Southern Africa for the first time. As we get going over the next couple of months the participants will begin posting their own stories and reflections. Seed is not only about Agriculture, it is about learning, growing, reflecting, and sharing. This blog will be THE place to keep in touch with the fantastic changes happening in the region. In 4 short weeks the program will begin with MCC general orientation in Colombia. From there we'll have an extensive month long regional orientation in South Africa and Zimbabwe. We have 8 participants: 1 from Zambia, 1 from Mozambique, 1 from Swaziland, 2 from Lesotho, 1 from South Africa, and 2 from the U.S. Please keep them in your prayers as they apply for visas and make final travel preparations.
