Kenya – Hyacinth Plant as Food

In 2018, Jack Oyugi revealed a way to use the Hyacinth plant.  This plant has been invading the fishing waters of Kenya.  Oyugi has come up with the Hyacinth Cake, and it is food for livestock. 
This feed contains 50% protein, it helps the animals to produce more milk, and it even cost 30% less than what is presently sold in Kenya.  The cake process involves steaming, drying, crushing and adding minerals. 
This feed comes at a time when Kenyan farmers are barely breaking even in their business.

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
