The rains are late
Probably no harvest because the rains are late
This year the lack of rain has made it very difficult for the people.
Crops, for instance maize, were planted but now are greatly affected as shown in this attached photo. This is the period normally people start eating fresh maize, rice, groundnuts, etc. This year none of them are ready to harvest. The picture shows maize plants that are not in a good state. They have retarded growth and likely there is no hope of harvesting anything out of them
“So we have a very special guest of honour in our homes this year. His name is Hunger,” said Father Placid.
Let us hope and pray that the rains continue and that some of the crops ripen soon for the people of Luhombero.
