Dear Joshua, the pictures tell the story, and it's clear that you have a big heart (and a good head) for this project. May I suggest you describe your project in a blog, and provide us with some numbers of your financial needs (like what you sent me)? Congratulations on all the excellent achievements so far!

Sustainable agriculture requires improvement in skills among other inputs as factors of agricultural development.
Better World Cafe, in Yaonde Cameroon project sets out to introduce Organic Gardening, Distance learning and Permaculture as a solution. Rural farmers have no other sources of livelihood as well as no credit with which to consolidate and improve on small parcels of land; age, health and family situation all constitute major reasons for this state of affairs. The situation makes small farmers to consider themselves as forgotten in the entire development process and consequently the vocation is not attractive to the youth.I am also thinking here in terms of the diffusion of research results, farm inputs as well as monitoring and follow up.Better World Cafe in Yaounde,Cameroon if assisted,can find innovative solutions, not the short-lived intermittent type,but innitiatives which focus on the identification of project areas, follow up right to production, storage, and marketing or transformation of produce to solve the food crisis and privede development education.
