Wow.... You have truly dissected my post and provided an alternative to how one can live comfortably with the little we have.
So many people eat alot of processed food and every income is spent on buying rather than trying to farm or grow our own meals.
I could volunteer to check up the prices of the above listed and having a heart willing to serve and help others doesn't often require that I get rewarded for rendering these services.
Been a volunteer worker in one or two organization am interested in helping out here.
And I hope that my fellow country men can learn a thing or two giving them hope for tomorrow.
Thanks for this.
That's good to know.
You're doing well
I have a lot more to write! I hope you don't get too bored by the end up. Next up is water satchets (they seem like a terrible idea). Then bulk buying. Then a review on solar cooking food (which I think would be awesome in Nigeria). Then a balanced diet for a bargain price. Then how to make money, help your neighbors, and feed yourself (that will be fun).
I have a lot to write ... but as I said, I will really need help finding out what things cost so I can budget better and make a better overall post.
Wowwww... This is really an awesome task.
Solar cooking is not yet achievable Here.
People are only getting familiar with using solar power to power basic gadgets like fan and TV sets.
I have a solar cooker (Mr. Sun) which I'll be writing a review on and hopefully getting ideas on. Also homemade solar oven and cooking with a solar sunshade. I've done all of them in Canada with very low cost. The solar oven was able to bake a cake and cost about N4000 to make. Cooking with the sunshade I was able to cook beans for a cost of about N2000. Neither was very elegant because my design skill is terrible but still.....affordable and at least an interesting talking point.
.... but more on that later.
First up will be 1) Clean drinking water and 2) A cheap balanced(ish) diet.
But I'm on vacation with my Mom so posts will be a little slow in coming.
That is quite cheap and will be highly beneficial here since we have abundance of sunlight.
The major points have been highlighted, lets work with that.
Enjoy your vacation.
