This is Keteve. I met him in Ghana towards the end of September.
He owns some farm land and a herd of sheep.
Keteve has been a Mission Resource client for the past two years. He has used his loans to vaccinate his sheep - a smart move. Otherwise, a disease could get a foothold within his herd and wipe out every last animal.
Keteve would be ruined.
On the day I visited his farm, Keteve was clearing out great mounds of weeds from among his pepper and tomato plants. The weeds were gathered and thrown into the sheep pen where they were eagerly devoured.
Keteve said that soon he would be scooping the dung out of the pen to be used as fertilizer for his crops.
Talk about an efficient system!
Pulling up harmful weeds and turning them into fuel for new growth strikes me as a rather Godly effort ...
