| Was the MESA information you received in your home country clear? Was the description of your training site accurate? What more would you have liked MESA to send you before you left you home country? | EVERYTHING WAS CLEAR, AND THE DESCRIPTIONS ON MY TRAINING SITE WAS ACCURATE, AND I HAVE COMPLETED ONE MONTH SINCE I HAVE ARRIVED SO IF THERE IS ANYTHING I WANT TO GET FROM MESA BEFORE I GO TO MY HOME COUNTRY I WILL LET YOU KNOW |
|---|
| If you worked with a Program Representative in your home country, was he/she helpful? Is there anything more the Representative could have done to help you complete your application or to better understand MESA's program? | NO WE DON`T HAVE A PROGRAM REPRESENTATIVE IN TANZANIA, SO I STRIVED MY SELF TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATIONS. |

Have you attended any special training, workshops, conferences, classes, etc.? | UP TO DATE I HAVE TRAINED MANY THINGS I HAVE TO GET TRAINED LIKE DRIVING TRACTORS, PREPARING SEEDS IN THE GREEN HOUSES SO THAT THEY CAN GROW AND LATER TAKE THEM TO THE FARMS FOR REPLANTING, I HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO USE THE LOW COVERS IN THE REPLANTED CROPS, I HAVE BEEN TRAINED ON HOW TO USE COVER CROPS TOIMPROVE THE SOIL AND TO RETAIN THE FERTILITY OF THE SOIL, ALSO I KNOW NOW HOW TO USE THE TINE WEEDER IN THE FARM, I UNDERSTAND NOW ON HOW TO USE PROPANE GAS TO REMOVE THE WEEDS ON THE CARROTS BED BEFORE THE CARROTS APPEAR ON THE FARM. |
