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? | Yes, everything is alright here. Thank you for all kind of arrangement. |
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? | There is no representative in Malaysia. We appreciate all the information on Mesa's website and Lauren's correspondence were helpful. |
Any problems with housing, electricity, heat, phone, driver's license, bank account, transportation? Other problems? | So far so good, thank you. |
Describe the training you have received since getting to your placement site. What have you learned so far? Have you attended any special training, workshops, conferences, classes, etc.? | Biodynamic farm is an integrated, whole, living organism. This organism is made up of many interdependent elements: fields, forests, plants, animals, soils, compost, people, and the spirit of the place. What I learned so far, 1. Daily animal chores (to feed horses, chickens, pigs) in the morning and evening. 2. Collect animal manure and making compost. 3. Prepare flats for seeding and transplant. 4. Prepare bed for direct seeding. 5. Harvest vegetables twice a week. I had attended Biodynamic Association of Northern California (BDANC) Spring meeting at Fair Oaks on April 7-8, 2018. And Bioreactor workshop May 6-7, 2018 sharing by Dr. David Johnson. |
Have you been involved in an cultural activities since your arrival? (examples : farmers' workshop, library event, soccer games, family activities, etc) | 1. Biodynamic Association of Northern California (BDANC) Spring meeting, like BD farmers, member's gathering and updates. 2. Local community gathering party |
Any suggestions to improve MESA's program? | All good. Thank you for visiting us in Live Power farm. Personally I wish to meet Mesa's team before going home. |
