"Working with farmers, getting to know and understand the realities of their lives and difficulties has been an invaluable experience gained over the past ten years with CIDSE and SRD. This experience helps me to better apply my skills and knowledge to support farmers. One’s opinion about happiness might be different to others. For me happiness means sharing knowledge and giving a helping hand to those in need.”
