Building People

"My life has changed so much since I began working with you!" - Pak Jem to me.

Pak Jem used to be a little regarded farmer in a little regarded neighborhood in a little regarded village. But much has happened in the last five years that has changed his status. He has earned the favor the local ag extension officers who regularly ask him how the government can help him. The governor recognize

d him with an award as an exemplary village leader. He was flown to the capital city to gain additional training in food processing. He was flown to Thailand to gain additional training in mango horticulture. And most recently he was recognized for his bee-keeping and honey production endeavors. (In the attached photo, Mr. Jem is on the left accepting the accolades.)

This is what I'm about . . . Building People to Build a Nation. . . . It's in the bag!
