The country side is green and the fields are covered with an assortment of crops that are flourishing because of the recent rains.

The convoy of delegates from the Ministry of Agriculture, JICA and Japanese Embassy plus journalist from many media houses is quite long as we branch off the main road that goes to Ngoma.

What greets a visitor upon arrival is a big contrast with the days of yore. Residents are busy working on their rice farms at Ngoma while others are helping in the creation of the Irrigation dam and the solar plant under construction.
