Today we had the distinct pleasure of working with farmers one year into the Diversified Livelihoods for Coffee Growers Program. This program is supported by CRS, Caritas, and GMCR (Green Mountain Coffee Growers). 20 villages were chosen to benefit from this for the programs first year (2010), next year 40 more villages will be added to the program. With the help of translators we were able to discuss the farmer’s progress regarding food security, economic saving, sanitation, nutrition, and mostly agricultural techniques with regard to increased production. Learning about rural Rwanda continues to be an eye opening experience
The Alabama FFA Association website features some great videos today of prominent former FFA members explaining how FFA gave them the skills they needed to succeed.
