Last May, BHIK-U purchased a 1.4 acre parcel of land adjacent to the sports fields. It’s on a hillside. It’s been planted with East African bananas, what we call “plantains”. Hopefully, with favorable rainy seasons, the trees will be bearing fruit in a couple of years. The fruit will be cooked and mashed to provide matoke (“mah-TOH-keh”) for the school. It’s considered the national dish of Uganda, and is eaten at most meals, served with a sauce or stew, often with vegetables - - and occasionally with meat - - for the 975 or so students and staff members. That’s a LOT of matoke! (And they don’t have electric food processors there!!)
