Hello Rami

In an article in a Dutch magazine I read how you help farmers, so they can build a more stable family. That is great! And inspiring.

The article doesn't say how you get your income? is this your voluntairy work, how do you get paid?

regards, Veronique from the Netherlands

Hello Veronique.

I don't get paid, I do this work on a voluntary basis. But land and People, the program I manage has now 3 engineers working in the clinics and they get paid.

Thank you for your supportive words.
