We're welcoming the rain as we've completed adding our soil, levelling it, and grading the surface.
In this update from the field, we visit with everyone’s favorite rain-ready architect, Wycliff Nyachwaya - adjunct architecture professor at JKUAT, owner of architecture firm Bao Designs and our project lead for the Nairobi Field of Dreams project.
We’ve added as much subsoil and topsoil as we could afford, to layer over the black cotton soil, and now we’re getting ready to plant Bermuda grass and supercharge it with powerful organic and nutrient-rich fertilizer from our friends at Kenya's Regen Organics, which is part of the Sanergy Collaborative. We'll be posting an update from an event we'll be hosting with them in the next week put down the fertilizer.
We’re still about $15,000 short of our goal - funds raised will immediately go to building a backstop, fencing around the field, dugouts, and performing infield improvement.
Please help continue our progress with the field by encouraging others to give.
Thanks for all you've done to help us get this far.
Update - we decided to hold off on the grass planting as the rain subsided and water has been scarce in the area. We're waiting until the next rainy season in April/May 2023 to see if we can plant grass.
