Norma's Letter fro Jos - 1 March 2012 - A church bomb blast

Vegetable orders

From: Norma, Zamani Farms

Hello customers,

Thank you for getting your orders in early last week. It really helped us to organise our work more efficiently and aided us in ensuring that all of you got pretty much what you needed. We hope you will keep it up and get your orders to us as soon as you can.

As I am sure you know, there was a bomb blast at one of the biggest churches in Jos on Sunday morning, and of course this has put everyone in an anxious frame of mind. I suppose we should expect more of this in the future, but given the recent history in Jos of ethnic and religious violence we sincerely hope that things will not escalate. We really do need peace in order to run the farm and deliver your orders.

Crops continue to do well on the farm, although the prolonged heat we have been having has caused us a few problems. As you can see from the carrots supplied in today's order, they tend to get a bit distorted in shape...
