"Life in the Peace Corps will not be easy. There will be no salary and allowances will be at a level sufficient only to maintain health and meet basic needs. Men and women will be expected to work and live alongside the nationals of the country in which they are stationed—doing the same work, eating the same food, talking the same language.

But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps—who works in a foreign land—will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace."

Kedougou Training of Trainers for Tree Nurseries


Working with Trees for the Future and Yaajeende, we had 60 Senegalese from different villages come into Kedougou for a two day training on how to make proper tree nurseries. Ideally, these people will go back to their villages and hold meetings teaching people in their areas how to do them as well. It is a great way to start the AgroForestry work season!
