2008 is a year that we at Sicambeni are going to use to build further on the sustainable foundations laid in 2007.

2008 kicks off with more volunteers arriving, coffee seeds planted and areas demarcated in the village for the plantation as well as more work on the gardens, water management and the brick making.

2007 was an exciting year with lots of firsts including volunteers, vegetable harvests and pushing forward with the coffee plantation.

Sicambeni has a new website going live (we'll update you on this new development) with a forum for ongoing discussion and debate around the way forward with the project and how interested people around the world can fit in and contribute their unique skills.

Once again the emphasis on people is absolutely crucial to the ongoing building and development of the sustainability project.

We are also writing a history for Wikipedia and will keep you updated. The project has come a long way since its inception and more leaps forward are planned but these don't happen on their own, they are people driven and then sustained by people.
