Under the shearing shed.
During 2012 a handful of chaps from our church got together and cleaned out the sheep manure from under a shearing shed. Some would call it a wool shed. We bagged it up and then sold it to various folk around town for them to use in their gardens. In the end we managed to bag off close to 20 tonnes of sheep manure and raised just over $1800 for an Agriculture Project in South Sudan.
Another load heads into town.
South Sudan, a country in Africa that had been involved in civil war from 1983 up to 2005, during which time development was virtually halted and agriculture severely restricted. The project was established by COCOA, Churches of Christ Overseas Aid, and was managed by Steve Blacket initially. A small area of land was cleared and crops of corn and peanuts grown to give an income for the families involved. More recently a tractor has been bought and the area enlarged to engage more families in the project. More information on the project, and to donate to the work if you are so inclined, go to this webpage. http://www.inpartnership.org.au/bongibot-agricultural-project

There have been numerous comments on my site in recent months, however, much of it has been picked up as spam. But I have approved a few of these comments. If your comment has been deleted but was not intended as spam, then I apologise for that.
Others have asked about how my website/blog has been created. Basically it is the result of doing an online blogging course. The cost of the course gives access to numerous topic by topic videos and also includes the cost of hosting a website such as this one.
For more details check out the course information through this link. It doesn’t have to be a business, the same principles will apply for any topic that you are passionate about. For me, I’m just using it to post my stories of places I’ve been to and photoshoots I’ve done.
