The project team

The garden project local team has recently expanded and now includes two field workers from the region who are employed full-time and four San garden representatives in training. The full-time team have been trained in leadership, project management, garden construction and maintenance. The representatives are receiving training and mentoring in garden management and project supervision and will form a local garden project committee. They are responsible for conveying feedback between the beneficiaries and the project team and assisting the beneficiaries in finding solutions to technical and/or social problems associated with the project.

The field team, with whom the trainees are currently working, includes Abraham Motlhaping (Assistant Coordinator) and Joseph Bessa (field technician). This on-site team are supervised by GDF’s regional coordinator Hattie Wells and Komeho staff, Gabriel Hangara and Bethel Kazapua.
We are anticipating the arrival of our new horticultural volunteer Simon Stronach in early September.
