Some of the ladies were on a one day bread making course organised by TEVETA. The were supplied with various baking tins to allow them to continue making bread and raise some funds for the Womens' Development Centre and the Catholic Womens' Organisation in the Parish. We were very impressed.

| Heating up the clay oven |
The first day the ladies made the clay oven and collected the necessary firewood. The next day they set about heating up the oven by burning the firewood and branches in the oven for a few hours to get the clay bricks hot. Once heated the hot ash was removed.

| Placing the tins in the oven |
The ladies prepared the dough, put it inside plastic bags and left it out in the sun. It was kneaded and prooved. Next the dough was carefully put in the baking tins and placed carefully inside the oven which was then sealed off by placing iron sheeting on top. The burning hot ash was then placed on top of the iron sheeting to keep the oven hot. The bread was baked in the oven for around 20 mins.

We were amazed when the oven lid as removed to reveal beautifully baked loaves; they smelled delicious and tasted good.
