Maize

Over the past few weeks everyone at Rainbow has been working to get the maize into the silos so that it will keep through the year.  This is the maize that was grown from the Rainbow fields and it will feed the children and staff for the entire year.  The ladies of Rainbow church have been hired to help with getting the maize from the floor of the shed (where it has been taken off the cob already) into the silos (a couple are seen behind the ladies).  The maize has to first be sifted to get any trash and debris out of the maize.  It is then placed in 50kg bags and taken to where it will be transferred into the silos.  The ladies are happy to have the opportunity to work and help Rainbow.  As people from the church and community have need they will be able to partake in the maize crop as well.  We have been blessed with an excellent crop this year.  Praise God!

There are hundreds of kg's of maize bags and countless Rainbow kids all piled into the Ipsum to take the maize to one of the silos on the other side of the complex.  Jeremy let a different kid ride in his lap and "drive" during each trip.
