Was once a bedroom soon to be a cow enclosure
I can't believe I have been here for over 2 weeks already..... time flies when you are having fun as they say ! And I am already sad thinking about leaving. 

This past week has been busy busy busy, with Mr Massawes home currently looking like a construction zone.  


The chicken enclosure is finished and the 200 new chicks (Kenyan of course because they are the best) were delivered on the weekend. As the chicks grow over coming months, they will be transferred into the new enclosure and will start laying eggs in about 5-6 months time - they are currently occupying what was previously a bedroom, kept safely under heat lamps and constant care to ensure none are lost.

Another bedroom has now been demolished and is currently being converted into the new cow enclosure (see picture above).  Animals are such valuable assets that they often take priority and we have now also hired a watchman who's job is to sleep with and protect the cows from thieves. 
This week also saw the construction of a new water tank. With water in such short supply it was essential that we have enough water for the cows, so we have purchased and installed a new Water tank.
