Mark Leclair, Farm Radio International’s Program Officer, recently represented FRI at the annual Nane Nane celebrations in Arusha. “Nane” means “eight” in Kiswahili – so August 8th is Nane nane. It is also Farmer’s Day in Tanzania. Many farmers, local groups and schoolchildren attended the event. Visitors learned about sack farming, new technologies like the Kickstart “Moneymaker treadle pump,” and admired crops and fruit trees on display.
John Cheburet, a winner of one of FRI’s scriptwriting competitions, also attended. He and his team officially launched the Kiswahili version of The Organic Farmer magazine. The magazine is a collaboration between Biovision, USAID and TAPP (the Tanzanian Agricultural Productivity Program).
