Hi! My name is Taylor Peabody. I’m a Bumpers Honors student studying agricultural business and nutrition. This summer I participated in the community development program in Mozambique. I have traveled abroad before, but this was my first time in Africa! I’m not much of a writer, so here are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip (narrowed down from almost 1,000 pictures)!
New Horizons is a for-profit poultry company that has provided over 300 jobs to local community members. This is where our group started out every morning!
Before we left, we went on a two day safari excursion! We saw everything from antelope to lions, but the zebras were one of my favorites.
Presenting our completed project on nutrition and subsistence farming to local women.
Even though most of these people had very little, they always had a smile.
We went to a local preschool one morning and got to play with the kids. This was one of my favorite things to do as a kid!
This little reindeer goes with her sister to preschool everyday.
Crowded market across from our hotel.
Ebenezer plots.
Nutrition crop science team style: matching shirts from a local seed store and kapulanas.
We came across these men on our daily walk to Ebenezer, they smiled and waved as they passed us like we were sitting still.
Captured out of the bus window as we drove through a town on our way to the coast.
These are some of the students at Ebenezer Agricultural College where my project group worked. We got to sit in on a class about composting… taught in Portuguese!
This is one of my favorite pictures from the farm. This is an Ebenezer tomato plot at the foot of the mountains.
This was taken after a local church service we were invited to. The building behind us is the whole church.
