A worthwhile Collaboration in Bulawayo
Agent Ayala Sherbow sent round a blog post by Thinkwell Ndhlovu suggesting this as a good opportunity to collaborate:

Here is some information I found on the RUAF site:
Urban agriculture in Bulawayo is an important activity for many people. Those engaged in it realise commercial benefits, or practice it for subsistence to supplement their meagre incomes or simply for survival. At the moment, the City has nine irrigated garden allotments totalling about 25ha that are managed by the Social Services Office of the Department of Housing and Community Services. The beneficiaries (over 5000) grow vegetables predominantly for domestic consumption. The City also manages the Gum Plantation Allotment, a massive community garden project on an estimated 450 ha. Also here, preference in allocation of plots was given to the elderly and the poor, comprising about 75% of the beneficiaries. Each household is allocated 6 long-beds for free, making up a total of 200-400m2. But there is increasing demand for land, and youths started to practice agriculture in the city recently also. Some of the produce is sold to generate income.
I think this is well worth investigating further! Please give it a look, and thank you Ayala for making me aware!

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
