I had a chance to visit Rev. M.B. Jalloh's farm with M.B. and his son, Abu. Dave Mayer visited with MB there a few years ago and wanted me to get some pictures. I was privileged to see it and here is some of what I saw ...

| Abu and MB, posing in tandem, on the veranda of the recently-constructed house on the farm site. |
 |
| Fresh water spring that supplies the farm year-round. |
 |
| Groundnut (peanuts) being planted by the women, including MB's wife, Musu, on the hillside. |
 |
| The care-taker. |
 |
| Looking to the border of MB's farm, across the swamp. |

| Musu Jalloh (purple shirt) and children of some of the hired workers in the foreground. |
 |
| 180 palm trees have been planted on 3 acres. |

| MB standing proudly with a harvest of Mangoes on soil he has worked with his own hands and will maybe retire to soon. |
