  1. I read with great interest the description of your work in Tanzania to improve rural agricultural education. Are you familiar with the Regional Impact Center outside Arusha, set up by ECHO based in North Fort Myers, FL as a hub of training, information, and resources for folks living in rural villages in East Africa? ECHO’s mission is to “honor God through sustainable hunger solutions.” ECHO’s International Agriculture Conference is scheduled for Nov. 15-17 in N. Ft. Myers. Check out the website at http://www.echonet.org. ECHO has another center in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
