Shiinda Green Market

Today was the grand opening of the Shiinda Green Market organised by the Shiinda Farmers Marketing Cooperative (and supported by Lumwana Mining Company). The aim is to make this a monthly event where local fresh produce, garden plants, baskets, kitchen utensils, arts and crafts, etc can be purchased. I came home with some pineapples, sweet potatoes, wooden spoons, a knife, two grass mats and a fern. Well done to everyone involved in this initiative. We are looking forward to seeing many more interesting items for sale. Here I am with Loveness Kanchinyi who speaks impeccable English and was very helpful in explaining some of the weird veggies and stuff that our Muzungus know nothing about.
