As Christmas nears, we at AJFAND wish to send Christmas and end of year salutations to all our friends- authors, reviewers, readers, collaborators and supporters. Issue 29 is ready for you all to enjoy and make use of. The commentaries and Editorial are focused on capacity development and training. There is no better way to foster partnerships than through capacity building. Together, we can achieve a lot. In this season of celebration and festivities, let us be reminded of our core desire to make life better for the millions who are poor and go hungry across the globe. Make it your motto to feed at least one hungry child this season.
