Community development advisor Chrissy Moyo can\u2019t wait to get back to Malawi to share with her farmers what she learned\u00a0from an intensive agricultural training course that she recently completed in the UK.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old returns both energised and inspired by the experience of\u00a0her ten weeks training\u00a0made possible by a bursary provided by\u00a0Marshall Papworth Fund.<\/a><\/p>\n Amongst four Self Help Africa community-based trainers chosen for the course at the\u00a0Moulton Agricultural College<\/a>\u00a0in Northamptonshire, one of the UK’s leading agricultural colleges, Chrissy says that the experience in England will be invaluable to her future work.<\/p>\n \u201cWe learned about different agricultural and animal husbandry practices. I know a lot more too about soil management and testing, horticultural production, livestock care and feeding, and various aspects of conservation farming,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cDelivering knowledge to the farmers requires good communication skills. I’ve learned a lot about\u00a0facilitation skills. It will be very helpful in my work when I go back to Malawi,\u201d she reflects.<\/p>\n Watch the video:<\/strong><\/p>\n
