Winrock is pleased to be sending volunteers to Burma (also known as Myanmar) through our USAID-funded Farmer-to-Farmer (F2F) program. Recently, F2F volunteers Mike Frinsko and John Woiwode worked with shrimp hatcheries and fish processing plants to help increase production, improve quality, and increase sales. True to the spirit of F2F, the trainings were hands-on and engaging for the eager-to-learn participants. Here are some photos of John, Mike, and trainees in action:

Mike says, “Personally, this was an excellent cultural experience. Having worked in development projects previously, this one rates at the top.”
Here are some other photos of beautiful Burma, taken by Mike:
