Conservation farmingConservation farming is the way of keeping yourfarm in a good condition and make sure that it isremaining with fertility in a long period of time. Forinstance, residue left in the holes or manure addedto the holes decompose to add some fertility in thesoil.The following are some points to be followed tokeep your farm’s soil from loosing fertility.Crop SuggestionsThe first idea is to avoid burning your residues inyour farm. Please make sure that you keep theresidues. The remaining’s after harvest are alwaysdecomposing to add fertility in the soil.Second, keep the cattle out of the stover so that itwill be there for fertilizer, make sure your residualare not eaten by animals like goats, cattle or anyother animals, keep away your animals from yourfarm. If the cattle will graze in the farm then theydestroy your soil and they make the soil to be hard.Third, re-dig an acre of holes to assure correctspacing, shape, and depth.Recommended size is (1by 1) feet and at the recommended row spacing (2by 3) feet. In each holes put two handfuls of farmyard manure. This is important while the ground isstill soft and easier to work. I think now the groundis still soft but if you delay and the sun hit theground the soil will be somehow hard.Fourth, remove all the weeds and avoid seeds tospread around the holes so that they don't have agood start next season.Tree SuggestionsAlso in digging holes, use "best practices" for treeplanting. It has been suggested that the holesshould be spaced farther apart for the trees. Thedistance apart should 12 feet from one hole toanother hole, that the holes should be square ratherthan round, and if possible we should be plantingtrees along the edges of the shambas, or along theroads and paths so that the trees provide manyuses. At the same time it is important to include thefruit trees when we plant trees, the trees will makeus feed our families and rise our economic level.For those who have not yet started the nursery forseedlings it is very important to start now, so thatyour seedlings will be grown enough to betransplanted. It will be better if you plant moreseeds in your nursery to make a good number ofseedlings to cover those which will die whengrowing or to sell to other groups.Board of trustees arereformed.It is time now for you to know about what are goingon in your Diocese. Two months ago Bishoptravelled around different parts of the sevendeaneries in the Diocese conducting seminars withthe ministers, apart from those seminars he spentone day talked about TIST He tried to analyse wellContinued on Page 3Utunzaji wa mashamba.Utunzaji wa mashamba ni njia ya kuliweka shambalako katika hali nzuri na kuhakikisha kwambalinabakia na rutuba kwa muda mrefu. Kwa mfano,mabaki yaliyosalia kwenye mashimo au mboleailiyoongezwa kwenye mashimo huoza na kuongezarutuba kwenye udongo.Yafuatayo ni mambo ya kuzingatiwa ilikuliwekashamba lako ili lisiweze kupoteza rutuba yake.Mazao yanayoshauriwa.Wazo la kwanza ni kuepuka kuchoma majaniyaliyosalia kwenye shamba lako. Tafadhali hakikishaunayaacha mabaki. Mabaki yaliyosalia baada yakuvuna sikuzote huoza na kuongeza rutuba katikaudongo.La pili, zuia mifugo yako isile mabaki yaliyo shambaniiliyawe mbolea, hakikisha kuwa mabaki yako hayaliwina mifugo kama Mbuzi, Ng’ombe au mifugo yeyoteile, weka mbali mifugo yako na shamba lako. Kamautaruhusu mifugo ichunge kwenye shamba lako basiwataharibu udongo na kuufanya udongo kuwamgumu.Jambo la tatu ni kuchimba mashimo kwenye shambala heka moja kwa ajili ya mazao na kuhakikishanafasi kati ya shimo na shimo ni ile inayotakiwa,urefu wa kwenda chini ni futi 1 kwa 1 na kati yamstari na mstari ni futi mbili kwa tatu). Katika kilashimo weka maganja mawili ya mbolea ya asili. Hii nimuhimu wakati udongo bado laini na ni rahisi kufanyakazi. Nadhani kwa sasa udongo bado ni laini lakiniukichelewa jua lipige sana udongo utakuwa mgumukiasi fulani.Jambo la nne, ondoa magugu yote kuzungukamashimo na mbegu zote zilizopo pembeni mwashimo lako ili kusiwe na magugu mengi msimu ujao.Ushauri wa Upandaji wa miti.Pia katika kuchimba mashimo,tumia “Njia Bora” kwakupanda miti. Ilikuwa imeshauriwa kuwa mashimoyawe mbalimbali kiasi kwa upande wa miti. Umbalikati ya shimo na shimo uwe ni futi 12, na kama kunauwezekano ni vizuri tukapanda miti kuzungukamashamba yetu, au pembeni mwa barabara na njia ilimiti iwe na matumizi mengi zaidi. Wakati huo huo nimuhimu kupanda miti ya matunda wakatitunapopanda miti, miti hii itatumiwa na familia zetu nakuinua kiwango cha uchumi. Kwa wale wote ambaohawajaanzisha vitalu vya miche ni muhimu kuanzishasasa, ili miche yako ifikie umri wa kutosha kwakupandwa. Itakuwa ni vizuri kama utapanda idadikubwa ya miche kufidia miti iliyokufa na itakayokufawakati ikikua au kuwauzia vikundi vingine.Bodi za wadhamini zafufuliwa.Umefika wakati wa kukujulisha juu ya mambo yanayoendelea katika Dayosisi yako. Hivi karibuni BabaAskofu alikuwa akitembelea sehemu mbalimbali zaDinari za Dayosisi ya Mpwapwa kufanya semina zakiutumishi, mbali na semina hizo Askofu alitumiamuda wa siku moja kuongelea masuala ya TIST.Inaendelea ukurasa wa 3Habari Moto Moto© 2

Trees and Loan RepaymentsWe are writing to remind all small groups aboutusing trees for loan repayments. As we havementioned before we are accepting trees forrepayment and hope many of the groups takeadvantage of this method. There have been somequestions about this option though and I would liketo take the chance to answer these questions.TIST will accept seedlings that are in nurseriesclose to a water source and with holes dug. Pleasedo not think that holes only will be creteria to qualifyfor repayment. If your group has only holes, wesuggest that you have a nursery and a dependablewater source for the seedlings. All three of thesehave to be present to qualify for loan repayment:holes, seedlings in a nursery, and a dependablewater supply.Best Practices for ChristianSmall GroupsThis is the second in a series of HMM articlesreviewing “best practices” for Christian smallgroups. These points have come from many smallgroup seminars in the Diocese of Mpwapwa and inthe United States, and many groups sharing whatthey have learned from the Holy Spirit as theTeacher.What are the qualities of a small groupleader (mwezeshaji)?Be a Servant to the Group(Mark 10:42-44) So Jesus called them and said tothem, "You know that among the Gentiles thosewhom they recognize as their rulers lord it overthem, and their great ones are tyrants over them.But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes tobecome great among you must be your servant,and whoever wishes to be first among you must beslave of all.(Col 1:25) I became its servant according to God'scommission that was given to me for you, to makethe word of God fully known,Love Unconditionally(John 13:34, 35) I give you a new commandment,that you love one another. Just as I have loved you,you also should love one another. By this everyonewill know that you are my disciples, if you have lovefor one another."Be Accepting(Mat 7:1) "Do not judge, so that you may not bejudged.Miti kwa ajili ya kulipiamikopo.Tunawaandikieni kuwakumbusha wanavikundividogovidogo juu ya utumiaji wa miti katika kulipiamikopo. Kama tulivyoeleza kabla kuwa tunakubalimiti kwa ajili ya kulipia mikopo na nimatumaini yetukuwa vikundi vimeifurahia njia hii. Kumekuwa namaswali mengi juu ya njia hizi na ningependakuchukua nafasi hii kuyajibu maswali haya. TISTitakubali miche iliyopo kwenye kitalu sehemu yenyeuwezekano wa maji na mashimo yaliyochimbwatayari. Tafadhali tusidhani mkopo unaweza kulipwakwa njia ya kuchimba mashimo pekeyake. Kamakikundi kina mashimo peke yake, tunawashauriwaandae kitaru na uwezekano wa maji kwa ajili yamiche hiyo. Mambo hayo yote matatu ni lazimayawepo ilikikundi kihesabiwe kulipa mkopo wake:Mashimo, Miche kwenye kitalu na uwezekano waupatikanaji wa maji kwa ajili ya kumwagilia.Njia Bora ya vikundi vidogovidogo.Hii ni mara ya pili kwa gazeti la HMM katika mfululizowake linawaletea “Njia Bora” kwa vikundi vyaKikristo. Jambo hili lilikuja baada ya vikundi vingikutoka sehemu mbalimbali za Dayosisi ya Mpwapwana Marekani, na vikundi vingi vinashirikishina yaleviliyojifunza kutokana na roho MtakatifuNi mambo gani yaliyobora kwa kiongozi wavikundi vidogo vidogo(Mwezeshaji)?Uwe Mtumishi wa wengineMark 10:42-44 Ndipo Yesu akawaita akisema nao”mnafahamu kwamba wale wanaohesabiwawakuu wa mataifa huwatawala kwa nguvu nawakubwa wao huwatumikisha lakini haitakuwa hivyokwenu anayetaka kuwa wa kwanza atakuwamtumishi wa wote”.( Kol 1;25) nimekuwa muhudumu wake sawasawana wakili wa Mungu niliyepewa kwa faida yenunilitimize neno la Mungu.Upendo usiyojivuna(Yohana 13;34-35) Amri mpya nawapeniMpendane. Kama vile nilivyo wapenda ninyi nanyivivyohivyo mpendane.Hapo ndipo watu watajua kuwaninyi niwanafunzi wangu.Mkiwa na upendo ninyi kwaninyi.Ukubalike(Mt 7;1) “Usihukumu, usije nawe ukahukumiwa.(Warumi 14;1) Wapokeeni walio wadhaifu wa imanina wala msiwahukumu mawazo yao.Continuted on Page 6Habari Moto Moto© 5Inaendelea ukurasa wa 6

Continued from page 5 Inatoka ukurasa wa 5(Rom 14:1) Accept him whose faith is weak, withoutpassing judgment on disputable matters.Listen in love(1 Cor 13:4-7) Love is patient; love is kind; love is notenvious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does notinsist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; itdoes not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in thetruth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes allthings, endures all things.It is easy to be a small group leader (mwezeshaji), butnot always natural. The leader is not the boss or thechairman of the group. Instead, the leader serves thegroup by bringing the group together, welcomeseveryone, makes group members feel comfortable,gets agreement on what the tasks for the meeting are,and encourages each member of the group to shareand participate.Small groups in the DMP have identified furtherattributes of a small group leader. A good mwezeshajiis thankful, a good listener, creative, polite, disciplined,humble, compassionate, wise, trustworthy, patient,cheerful, and encouraging. A good mwezashajidepends on God, values the gifts of others, knows thegroup members, shares openly and smiles.And don’t forget the co-leader (mwezeshaji mwenza)who also serves the group by keeping time and helpingthe mwezeshaji!(Eccl 4:9-12) Two are better than one, because theyhave a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, onewill lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone andfalls and does not have another to help. Again, if twolie together, they keep warm; but how can one keepwarm alone? And though one might prevail againstanother, two will withstand one. A threefold cord is notquickly broken.Congratulations for loanrepayment.By Sikitu PangaweHere below I would like to remind you again about yourloan repayment. The time of loan repayment hadalready passed 15 June 2001 and the Office extendedthe time, deadline of loan repayment to be 31 july2001, we want to congratulate those groups repaidtheir loans for the good job which you did, for yourgroup benefit for repaying completely your loans. Byusing this article through newsletter as stated above Iwant to congratulate those groups finished to repaytheir loans using different ways. These groups did agood job by repaying fully their loans, Some by cash,by crops or by trees and some by combination.The list of groups are as follows: Yehova Matongoro,Sikiliza kwa upendo(1kor 13;4-7) Upendo huvumilia ; upendo hufadhilipia hauhusudu ‘upendo hautakabari;haukosiadabu au hautafuti mambo yake hauoni uchunguau hauhesabu mabaya haufurahii udhalimu.Upendo huamini yote hutumaini yote hustahimiliyote.Ni rahisi kuwa kiongozi wa kikundi kidogo(mwezeshaji) lakini siyo siku zote kama kawaida.Kiongozi siyo ndiyo mkuu au mwenyekiti wakikundi. Badala yake, ni kiongozi wa kuhudumiakikundi kwa kulikusanya kundi pamoja, nakuwakaribisha kila mmoja, kuwafanya wanakikundikuwa na amani, kupata makubaliano juu ya mahitajiya vikao na kufarijiana kila mmoja wa kikundikushirikishwa na kushiriki.Vikundi vidogo vidogo vya DMP vimegundua njiampya ya uongozi wa kikundi. Kiongozi mzuri nimwenye shukrani, ni msikilizaji mzuri, ni mbunifu,mtulivu, ana adabu*. Mwezeshaji mzurianamtegemea Mungu, anathamini wenzake,anawajua wanakikundi, anashirikiana kwa uwazi nani mwenye tabasamu.Na bila kusahau mwezeshaji mwenza ambayehusaidia kikundi kwa kutunza muda na kumsaidiamwezeshaji.Mhubiri 4:9-12) Afadhali kuwa wawili kuliko mmojamaana wapata ijala njema kwa kazi yao. Kwamaana wakianguka mmoja wao atamwinuamwenzake; Lakini ole wake aliye peke yakeaangukapo, wala hana mwingine wa kumuinua!Tena wawili wakilala pamoja hapo watapata motolakini mmoja aliyepeke yake tu awezaje kuonamoto? Hata ikiwa mtu aweza kumshinda yule aliyekumshinda wawili watampiga; wala kamba ya nyuzitatu haitakatika upesi.Hongera kwa kulipa mkopoNa Sikitu PangaweHapa chini napenda kuwakumbusha tena juu yaulipaji wa mikopo yetu.

Vilevikundi vya 1999 ambavyo vilichukua mkopovisijisahau kwa kutokulipa mikopo wao, hivyonavyo tunavikumbusha kulipa mikopo yao iliwamalize deni lao na wajiandae kwa kupatamkopo mwingine.Asanteni sana.Kuongezwa kwa Muda waulipaji wa mikopo kabla yaPenati 31Julai 2001Ni wakati mwingine tena tunakuletea jambo laurejeshaji wa mikopo. Kulikuwa na malalamikomengi juu ya kuwekwa karibu kwa mwisho waulipaji mikopo. Watu wengi walieleza kuwakufikia wakati huo wa kulipa deni sehemunyingi za Dayosisi ya Mpwapwa watuwatakuwa hawajavuna mazao yao.Kutokana na mawazo hayo Ofisi ya TISTilikuwa na kikao cha dharura na kuona kuwakulikuwa kuna umuhimu wa kuongeza mudawa kulipa mkopo bila ya penati. Hivyo Ofisiilifikia uamuzi wa kuongeza muda huo kwambamwisho wa kulipa mkopo bila ya nyongeza yapenati kuwa tarehe 31 Julai 2001. Tuliwapamoyo na changamoto wale wote ambaowalikuwa hawajachukua hatua ya kulipamikopo kufanya hivyo ili kuepuka ongezeko lapenati kwa kuwatumia taarifa kupitia kwaWaratibu na Bodi za wadhamini za Parishi.Sasa basi wote ambao bado hawajalipamkopo wao watalipa kukiwa na ongezeko hilosawa na fomu za maombi ya mkopo wamwaka 2000 zilivyoeleza. Baada ya tarehe 31Julai watu watakaolipa mikopo yao kwa njia yamazao, watalipa kwa kuthamanisha mazao nabei zilizopo bila kuwa na ongezeko la asilimia20%. Kwa wale watakaolipa mikopo yao kwanjia ya miti watatakiwa kuandaa miche 600 namashimo 600 tayari kwa kuipanda msimu ujaowa mvua. Na wale wote watakaolipa mkopowao kwa njia ya fedha taslimu watalipa kiasicha shilingi 25000 kwa kila mwanakikundibadala ya kulipa shilingi 20000 kwa kilamwanakikundi.Habari Moto Moto 7
