Jan 6, 2010 - Farmer Tantoh recently attended an interview at the US Embassy to apply for training on organic farming as part of the Community College Initiative Programme (CCIP).

Three hundred people applied in Cameroon and 20 were shortlisted and Farmer Tantoh recently received the very good news that he was nominated as an alternate for the programme. (UPDATED 11/01)

This means that if one of the two selected people is not able to join the programme, Farmer Tantoh will be able to join! This would be a fantastic opportunity for him.

However, Farmer Tantoh has been advised to sort out his passport as he needs a new one to comply with US regulations.

The estimated cost of getting this done is about USD 600 and we are appealing for support. Please make a small donation.

Update 11/01. To date USD$ 450 have already been plegded.
