2008 was a record year for Boat in many ways. The last newsletter told of our first "in country" training workshops in Tanzania, working with 24 principles and senior staff from seven Livestock Training Institutes. They in turn will be taking these initiatives back to over 200 trainers within their own Institutes. This exciting project is now being monitored and evaluated by our own three intrepid trainers who devised the programme and delivered it.

The trust and in particular David Wendover, Fred Harper and Malcolm Florey have put a tremendous amount of work into this project and if the result proves successful it could be replicated elsewhere as a cost effective way of developing our “train the trainer” ethos.

Jane Townsend who is an assistant principal at Bicton College also flew out to Tanzania to participate in part of the programme and investigate further ways in which we can help to strengthen the link we have with Tengeru Livestock Training Institute.
