Handing over one of the plastic sheets to a teacher and his family.
Early morning we got up to handover one of the big plastic sheets to a teacher and his family. A greenhouse farming group has been formed in Necha and together they will build a new greenhouse.
Without the help of Micro Care Nepal these families would never have been able to buy the plastic sheeting ….which costs the equivalent of two years’ pay!
The second greenhouse established by Micro Care Nepal in Necha.
This family already had a greenhouse and the father was attending a course in greenhouse farming run by the Ministry of Agriculture. The bamboo frame was ready so we could finish this greenhouse very quickly. They just needed the support of Micro Care Nepal in providing the plastic sheeting to cover their greenhouse and then they could start farming.
Our friend was joking for the picture, pretending to fall from his dangerous local ladder! He has already been attending greenhouse education course and was reading to us from his text book.

During the afternoon we walked around the village to handover more photos to people and to have a look at the beautiful views of the valleys.
