I am Nabirye Eunice, age 21 years old. I formerly worked with New Hope Hospital as a medical laboratory attendant working with people. Dealing with patients gives me joy, especially the patients who look to be helpless. I enjoyed sharing with them the word of God that gave them hope by the time they left the hospital. As I was still working at New Hope Hospital, I happened to interact with the FARM STEW Iganga team leader Daniel Ibanda, who shared with me the recipe of FARM STEW and this was my real area of interest. He prompted me to work voluntarily with FARM STEW, especially when I was off-duty from the hospital. I happily served as a volunteer for almost a year. I am glad that I am now employed at FARM STEW as a full time worker. FARM STEW has helped me change my attitude, that I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me. It has helped me fulfill my dreams of serving the community. I have improved on data entryand record management skills. As FARM STEW goes by and by, I will always try to do my best.

Robert Lubega is the person who made Joy realize FARM STEW was possible. He was an Agricultural Extension agent for the local farmers cooperative I was assigned to while I was volunteering for USAID's Farmer to Farmer Program. He was serving as my translator while I conducted hands-on nutrition and cooking classes, featuring soy and vegetables and using the Bible as our primary text. But he was SO much more!! As I began to say less and he led more of the class, the community response was tremendously positive. Robert learned so quickly and soon was teaching me relevant facts about agronomy! He was particularly thrilled with the fact that, except for information that was practical and immediately applicable, we were bringing in nothing from outside the village. His facilitation made me realize that local leaders could conduct classes in their local language and in so doing capture the attention and the heart of class participants. I am thankful that Robert and all four of the original FARM STEW Uganda team members are still carrying on the vision! ‍ Here him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e03Dbt7yTI&t=3s
