Micro-farming among the poor Cape Town

Dear Global Giving Friends,

we are having wonderful exposure and your heartfelt and generous support keeps streaming in! Thank you! 

On Tuesdays (tour day) people turn up every week (we dont advertise, its all word of mouth and social networking) from all over Cape Town  and all over the world to see our work - researchers, journalists, academics, our Harvest of Hope Box members, other family farming groups who want inspiration and who may wish to replicate our model, long time and also new Friends of Abalimi and many more.

They all go away inspired - and tired. Its a fact finding tour and there is so much to see and hear that we cant afford to stop and relax and chill until after the job is done.  Its like how Abalimi works. We do indeed celebrate and party, but after we have done what we came to do.

And every moment and every cent counts.

Please do take time to come on the tour (virtually- see attachment & link) and see some of the recent articles and vids that have recently been done by Tuesday tour visitors below ! :) There are more, but I dont want to overload this report.

Of course, when in Cape Town please remember- if its Abalimi you want to see,  it must be Tuesday. This is the day we harvest and pack for market. All other days are focused on farmer support and development.

WARNING: The Prime TV vid link below will be archived in the next months. But its a classic and we will be getting a copy for posterity

All the very best

Rob                   P.S. we are not a begin-end project. We are a family micro-farming movement, among the

                                  unemployed, in the low income suburbs, in genesis
