Tambuki

On the 23de of March we started walking to Tumbuki we left from the boys house,we where assessed on the way there it was very interesting because we where out in the bush.
It was a long walk and it was very hot but still fun on the way there our group got a dead pofadder in the road it was a Jung one.

Our group was the last group to reach Tambuki when we got there we ate lunch an then we went to do some bush waking we saw al lot of brown hiena spoors,after that we got back and sat around the camp fire and we braid some worse every one was tired and went to bed early.

The next morning we wokup early and we started to walk we finished all the assessements and learned lots of intterresting stuff we went to the rocks where the ancient people lived and sharpened thier knifes. That was very interressting!

Then we walked back to camp an the hotel and lodge students were already there bussy making our food.The food was very nice after that we all chilled around the camp fire and tried to scare the people of the sangoma then we all went to sleep.

The last morning we got a huge pofader then we ate breakfast and we started to walk back it was a very hot long walk but very interressting aswell wen we got home we did the diebrief and we talked about what we could have done beter.

Cross Marketing

Cross marketing was interesting because they teached us how to market the stuff on the farm with out them even noticing anything we where busy for a few hours they showed us how to do it and when to do it it was interesting to see how people do it and some of them do it for a living every day i will not say i am good at it but i will get better in time i hope.

I never knew people could sell stuff like that it is very good marketing for the business its funny how people work some times it works sometimes it dont you must first read the peole before you try to sell anything to them you must know what they will like for example

Fire Fighting

On the 2nd of March we did fire fighting. We learned all about how it works and what you have to do when there is a fire. We also learned how to fight a fire I was handling the fire hose. We did a fire drill we had to run into the store and get the masks and overalls and helmets then we had to put them on as fast as we can.

Then we jumped on the tracker and we did the drill it was very exciting because you have to think and act fast we learned how to approach a fire you must fight it from the back where it already burned the grass and you must have your equipment on other wise you are going to get hurt and maby suffocate.

I have learned how to start the engine for the hosepipes and there must be 2 people on a hosepipe the one needs to spray and the other one needs to make sure the pipe is straight and controllable.
I have always wondered how farmers fight veld fires and now i know how they operate wen a veld fire breaks lose.
Everything is happening so fast you need to concentrate and be aware of your surroundings but it was very interesting and i have learned allot about fire fighting.
