Laurell was accepted into the NFC programme and has been making steady progress ever since, something she counts among her proudest achievements.

She lives with her family along Godzo line, where the household relies on small scale farming, made harder by rainfall patterns that keep shifting from year to year.

Before Ngamo she was still in secondary school, at Manama Mission School. Agribusiness and Animal Production are where her interest lies, and she describes her real strength as understanding the technical side of agriculture. She came to the college wanting professional expertise in both animal production and business management, and sees it as her route toward a National Diploma.

A drive to become a leader in the agriculture sector is what pushes her forward, and she credits her own commitment to her goals with keeping her on track. She is aiming to complete her National Diploma, work as a professional in agriculture, and eventually consider herself a genuine expert in the sector.

“The drive to become a leader in the agriculture sector.”

Previously at Manama Mission School. Laurell is now part of the training programme at Ngamo Vocational College and Livestock Farm.
