the organization’s budget plan for the year 2011. The focus for next year’s budget is to be able to

rent 5 acres of land to be planted with corn and beans for the homes food sustainability. In orde

to achieve this we need a capital of Ksh 130 000 which we do not have. We were also looking at

clearing our debt we owe from teachers monthly allowances.

On the celebration of the World Food in conjunction of the 4K Club an occasion hosted by a localfarmer, the children of Great Mercy School were invited to perform some narrative, poems and

songs to the farmers. They also receive lectures to understand several ways to battle hunger.

They were introduced to several crops so that there will be other alternatives other than just

relying on maize for food. The children rendered to the farmers songs, narratives and poems
