The 26th of May in Nowy Sącz, Simba Friends Foundation and Kenyan-Polish Forum have started the new initiative „Tractor for Kenya”. Its aim is to collect funds to buy a tractor for habitants of western Kenya, where the Foundation had already realized the project of development co-operation. The tractor will aid to advance the modernization of agriculture and access to new markets, where they could sell their merchandises.
For one day the marketplace in Nowy Sącz was vibrant with African life. The habitants of the city could listen to African music, buy handicraft and in the evening watch several films made by the directors from the continent. Thanks to aid from the Urzęd Prezydenta Miasta Nowy Sącz and pupils and teachers from the private high-school our event finished successfully.
The 28th of May our tractor stopped in Włoszczowa. The habitants of the town participated in all attractions with the great enthusiasm. They were dancing next to the stage situated in front of the primary school nr 1. Many of them bought the handicrafts and all children were queuing for a ride on a tractor-trailer of our colorful machine.
The tractor has already moved on to other Polish cities... It will soon visit your town!!!
