Weekend update

Northrise Farm

Its been a quiet weekend so far in Ndola... been chillin mostly at the downtown Northrise building and eating around the city.  Yesterday I toured the farmland where they harvest bananas and where the future campus of Northrise will be.  To sum up the property... a lot of ancient ant hills.  I saw the brand new Kuhula House Business building, which was quite impressive.  I met with farmer Bob at the banana farm and learned everything one needs to know about bananas.  Next week I will be working with him to finish harvesting the bananas so we can sell them to the local markets.   I have always wanted to harvest my favorite fruit in the entire world and I hope to can some significant knowledge about banana farming in case I want to pursue my dream of owning a banana plantation down in Costa Rica.  I finally learned why it has been so smoky in the local area... impoverished Africans from the east actually light fires in order to catch the field mice and eat them because of supposed healing powers from the meat.  The local Zambians are frustrated with these immigrants because of the unlawful burning of the land.  hope all is well back in the states!
