Served for 2 years as an agricultural extension agent. Projects included horticulture, poultry, swine, pasture improvement, agroforestry, english classes at local school, and community development such as creating a sports club.

Working with the youth of Pacora was much more productive than working with adult groups, however there were individual campesinos interested in improving and diversifying their crops. By providing guidance with a sports club I was able to gain the trust and acceptance of the locals rather than my solely working agricultue.
