A new savings group in a new watershed in Congo. This new watershed is next to a watershed where farmers have already been forming savings groups, planting trees, practicing more environmentally friendly ways of farming for 3 years now. People in the new watershed (where photo is taken) have been watching and waiting and are now doing what they have seen their neighbouring watershed doing (with a little training help). In fact there is a chant that savings groups say at the beginning of every meeting and some people in the new watershed had already tried to memorize it before they had received training.

No hippos this morning but tiny jumping fish that you obviously can't see in the photo. I don't know exactly how coffee is made here but it is so strong that I ask for hot water to dilute. This morning I did one part coffee, 3 parts water and it is still too strong. The quality of coffee beans here is generally very good though.
