My Study Visit to Kenya, Africa

As part of my second year of study at the National School for Agronomy and Food Engineering of Nancy in France, I had to have an experience abroad. My desire was to go and have an experience in an English-speaking African country, and I chose Kenya. My internship was at Rural Outreach Program (ROP), an NGO that was founded by Hon. Prof. Ruth Oniang’o, who is also the Secretary to the Board of Trustees. She gave me a warm and jovial welcome and ensured that my induction was smooth. ROP strives to help the rural communities in Kenya, by teaching farmers new technologies, appropriate farming approaches such as planting improved seed varieties and using relevant farming tools. My internship lasted 5 months, from April to August 2018.
