My aloe plants continue to thrive and multiply, and we continue to give them away. Since our first giveaway three years ago, my co-labourer in health ministry, Agau, and I have given dozens more plants to church members and other neighbours.
They use the aloe to treat burns, sores and various other skin problems. It grows well here. One advantage is that it doesn't need protection from hungry livestock, as many other plants do, since they don't like its spines.
Last Sunday, Agau announced after church that anyone who wanted aloe to plant should bring some kind of container and come to my house (which is very near the church). This time, a lot of children from the congregation came, as well as some ladies. Agau explained to each one where to plant the aloe, how to take care of it and how to use it. Here are some snaps of the happy recipients.
Jan: I am amazed how they have grown. Even flowering! Will the flowers produce little plants or seeds? A great ministry in health education.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were with you we have a picture of moringa trees growing beside your house. How tall are they now? The leaves are very nutritious. Seeds of Moringa trees were given since. Are they producing?
