Alison McIntosh was the guest speaker at our June dinner meeting. Alison is a dedicated member of the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth. This organisation provides an opportunity for interaction between agriculturalists at a grass roots level. Alison has been involved with projects in Zambia and PNG as part of 'Understanding and Assistance Missions.'
This is a time for enthusiastic young agricultural minds to gain an insight into another culture while giving practical assistance and sharing knowledge.
The audience was captivated by a presentation showing pictures of life in rural areas where poor wages, limited education and diseases such as malaria and AIDS make life very difficult.
Alison took many questions from the floor and was thanked by Heather Davies for a most enjoyable and thought provoking talk.
