NCBA encourages our volunteers to get the word out in their communities about their experiences overseas. We are always interested in reading your stories and seeing your pictures, as well as reading articles written by others about your assignment. Please let us know if you have any article, journal, picture or anything else you want to share with the public about your Farmer-to-Farmer assignment.
