ENLIGHTMENT   IS  THE  BEST  EXPERIENCE

Rabbit  keeping  was  at  most  as  a  hobby  among  our  community  members. Many   youths  kept  rabbits  just  for  fun  and  as  surplus  sources  of  protein ,but when  the  enlightment  came  to  knock  on  the  doors  of  the  community  , it  was  highly  welcomed; though  it's obvious  that  not  everyone can  accept  change.
  We  the  youths  in  the   community, made  up  our  minds  to  attend  the  so  called  purposeful meeting(organized   by  the Agriculture Extension Officers) in  our  region. Actually  we  benefited  a  lot  and  as   such,  agriculture  has  to  bloom  in  our  community. We were  told  on  care  and  management   programmes;  more   so, the  routine  practises  involved in  rabbit-keeping
  At  first, some elderly  persons  were  opposed  to  the  practise  but  on  realising  that  the  agricultural-based business  was  as  lucrative as  any  other  firm  business  they  had to  give  in. No  sooner  had  they surrendered  than   the flourishing  fruits  of  the  activity  were felt . The  community has now  evolved and  developed into  a  city  characterised by  rabbit  hatches since  extension officers  defined  a reddy  and  profitable  market  for  the  animals  as  one  was  going  locally  at  150shillings  but  was  then   350shillings. What  a  wonderful  project!
