Making a difference in Ethiopia

Jen Snow

Farmer-to-Farmer volunteer David Olson returned from an assignment in Ethiopia last month. Enthusiastic about his trip and interactions with his trainees, David explains:

“There was such enthusiam of the group to learn [new techniques for meat processing]. Of the volunteer assignments that I’ve done, this was the best demonstration of my 10 years of doing volunteer work. It was so rewarding to see the expression on the face of one of the training participants, Biruk, when he cut his first rib-eye roll and realized that he actually knew what he was doing.”

Here are some photos of David in action:
