Apart from
visiting the two offices in Salima, we visited the Telecentre and the Agroforestry
training centre. The Telecentre is a training centre where young people learn
how to use a computer. They are trained on how to surf the internet and use the Office
package. It is the only one in Salima. The centre have 6 computers and the students
are sitting on boxes two or three in front of each computer.
In the
Agroforestry training centre, farmers are trained on different ways of
cultivation. It is like a showroom and each plot shows a different method of
cultivation. One plot can show the difference between using chemical fertilizers
and organic fertilizers. Or one can show how to increase the crop by the way
of setting the plants and putting on the fertilizers.
The centre
also have a kitchen garden which should be used for the personal usage of the
farmer.

In the
middle of the kitchen garden they put composted waste which works as a
fertilizer for the garden.

Behind the
kitchen garden is a house for the energy saving stove. The stove is made of 6
bricks and sand and water. Very little fire wood is needed to keep the
stove hot which saves trees. The small house also makes the smoke to go out so
that the farmer doesn’t breathe it in.
