“My learning experience so far has been great. I have learnt more things about the business sector and how to run a business . I've seen that there is so much more than being a packer. Im looking forward to growing more in the program and later upgrading and doing a quality control certificate”

“My learning experience has been excellent as I am learning new things a daily basis. I have gained a lot of knowledge through yes youth modules, they taught me passion, patience and perseverance even now my communication skills have improved. Before I started this programme, I was already into farming. It was not just a hobby, it was a passion. Agriculture is a huge industry for food and security globally. I can see the importance of agriculture in our society and our country as a whole .”

“My learning experience is very good so far, taking baby steps in learning new things each and every day. I've gained mostly experience and techniques about gardening. Well my view on agriculture is surprisingly a lot. I have been a mocker of agricultural workers but now I am enthusiastic about agriculture. I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge about the agriculture sector and hoping to become a local farmer one day.”

“My learning experience has been good so far,I have managed to advance the knowledge I had before I started working. I have gained new ideas, knowledge and tried to be discoveries rather than relying on the ideas of others, but mostly the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. A lot has been advanced and I started to think about agriculture to cover a large part of the basic sector of needs to keep the country stable in terms of food security and financial stability in fact in the GDP local to national. I’m looking forward to gain more knowledge and experience”

“My learning experience is good and very interesting because we learn something new and gain much experience. I have gained many skills in this program such as management skills , problem solving skills , good communication skills, teamwork building skills and new ways of planting, and I also understand more about agriculture. Before I used to not take agriculture seriously , but since I have started this program I take it as a source of living. At the end of this program I see myself starting my small farming and selling vegetables in my area.”
