Agriculture Student at MITS

Although we have a nice farm at Kamulu, it has not been easy getting our street students interested in farming. They grew up in the slum, often without seeing a farm or knowing the sources of food. For that matter, it isn't easy getting Team members interested in farming!!

So Willys Odhiambo has been a source of joy. Willys came from the streets in 2007 and very soon displayed interest in the animals and in growing crops. He has done his skills training with Ben Mwami on the farm and shown real aptitude in agriculture.

This note is from Francis Mbuvi, our administrator:

"Willis has started his attachment at the Brookside Dairy Company farm yesterday and he seemed happy about it. He will be staying in Eastleigh and commuting to Ruiru."

Willys is sponsored by Kim and Peter D'Costa of Palo Alto, CA, and we are all very proud of him and his achievements. This attachment will last less than a year, after which Willys will be seeking employment. He would probably be a good addition to the MITS staff; please be in prayer for his future.
