Nicaragua Agricultural Extension Project
The goals of the Nicaragua Agricultural Extension project are to support education, use of sustainable agriculture techniques and crop diversification in Talolinga and the surrounding communities.
A young Talolingan has taken on the role as the area's extentionist. Support for his agronomy education is provided by the Ag Extension Project through generous donations. In his and surrounding communities, he passes on his knowledge in the form of a women's group, workshops, school garden and work with the farmers.
Each winter a YGA delegation travels to Nicaragua to visit Talolinga. This allows YGA members to establish relationships with project participants, assist in furthering goals, offer support where needed and participate in a community workday. Throughout the year, regular meetings are scheduled to support efforts in the village, maintain communication between YGA and villagers as well as assess the project plan.
