Kenyan intern seeks host farm
Greetings all---
Multinational Exchange for Sustainable Agriculture (MESA) seeks a 3 month
farm placement for Henry Sibwoga, a 34 year old farmer-intern applicant
from Kenya. Henry has hands-on experience in mixed vegetable crops,
coffee, tea & poultry production plus oxen ploughing. He is well
educated, in excellent health and very eager to make his program with
MESA useful to his native peoples upon return.
MESA seeks an appropriate organic or sustainably operated host farm for
Henry from May 15th to August 31st. He will work full-time at your farm.
Host farms provide housing and send monthly program fees to MESA
($725/mo. with meals provided or $850/mo. for independent
accommodations). MESA will then provide Henry with $300-$425/mo.
stipends, medical insurance, legal training visa, orientation and
educational seminar, domestic travel and coordinator support. Hosts incur
no payroll taxes.
If you or anyone you know may be interested in hosting
Henry---particularly if located on the West or East coast---please
contact MESA ASAP. Please be able to provide at least two references from
former interns or employees.
Thank you for your time!
