We are proud to share some of the successes reported by our volunteers. Many volunteers complete assignments that result in immediate and measurable impact, while others participate in a more protracted, complex process of development, but all of our volunteers share the sentiment that what they are doing is makes a difference in the lives of the people they serve. Read first hand about experiences our volunteers have had on Farmer-to-Farmer assignments around the world in our blog A Day in the Life of a USAID Farmer-to-Farmer Volunteer.
