Day -2

We headed to the site on March 5th, 2010, in a bus blaring gospel music. Richard's parents, Jane and Tony Mason, were our first visitors - and joined the reception committee of Mthwaku villagers.




En route, we stopped for some pretty unappetizing food.

All work and no play...

Of course we got out of the office too.

Group Meetings (Cape Town)

KMF Scholar Onwaba Nkayi was one of the first to see the potential of Project Lulutho. Under the stars one night during a camping in the Eastern Cape, he told KMF Founder and novelist Richard Mason ( http://www.richard-mason.org/) that the effort would be worth it.


Richard agreed. So did KMF Director Nelly Tom-Bulana. And thus Lulutho was born.




Two years of planning followed. Richard and Nelly ran a competition to select the best professionals for the project.



















On February 23rd 2010, Team Lulutho came together for the first time at the Kay Mason Foundation offices in Cape Town.























Permaculturists and farmers Tim Wigley and Anne Keating, Botanist Wendy Sanderson-Smith, Creative Director Benjamin Morse, Human Resources Co-Ordinator Lunga Dyanti, Project Manager Jeremy Elson and Fundraiser Lindsay Galvin joined Richard, Nelly, Onwaba and other KMF Staff for a week of planning and brainstorming.
