Photos of the second visit (GIS)

Printing labels

After the designing of the labels by the C.I.T students, they were supposed to print them and send them back to the farmer groups in Nakasongola. This is the week when the products are to be printed.

More GIS and starting of the production

On monday 10th August four of the C.I.T students went back to Nakasongola to do more GIS work. This included mapping the last parishes and subcounties that were not mapped the previous visit. While the C.I.T students were doing GIS mapping, the FST students were starting the production process with their farmer groups. Mostly there were planning for what needs to be built and even building it and purchase all that is necessary to start the production. Meanwhile the label making process is nearing its close because the production of the products is about to start.

Presenting prototypes

These were the photos taken when the FST students went back to the farmers to present their prototypes. In a white tshirt with a red hat is one of the students (Kalule Andrew) and next to him in a white blouse and blue denims is another student (Nzirambeera Brenda).

Choosing of the products.

After the FST trip to Nakasongola to present the prototypes, the farmers chose to produce Cassava and Sweet potatoe cookies as the main products and cakes and groundnuts as the side products.

Prototypes

On the 21st Tuesday, prototypes of the suggested products were presented to the C.I.T students. We got to taste the products and there all very good. Some of the cassava cookies though were too hard to bite. All said the products were very good. The next day, the FST students went to Nakasongola to present the prototypes to the farmers and have them pick the product they will be producing.
