Improved International Understanding

Jen Snow

One of the important goals of the Farmer-to-Farmer program is to improve international understanding. There are so many examples of how this happens, on every volunteer assignment. While thinking about her trip to Guinea, volunteer Heather Davidson explains what this has meant for her:

“I am very pleased with the outcome of the Farmer-to-Farmer training and am much honored to have been chosen to work with such wonderful people. Personally, I really enjoyed getting to know this beautiful country and its remarkable people. Since this was my first time in Africa, I was able to dispel (and confirm) a great deal about my perceptions of the continent. I am amazed at the positivity and friendliness of the people I have met. Professionally, I hope this experience will open up many doors for me.”
