Harvest

In our community people have been extremely busy these last two months getting their maize harvested and stored. It's been a fight with the weather as the rains have lasted much longer than normal and have caused many farmers to lose portions of their crops.  Nonetheless, Kenyans are hardy people who know how to push through challenges.  Here are some snapshots of the harvest this year.
