“I like that there are always things to do and I can apply my gifts and strengths and see a difference. I also believe that what we are doing to develop the young people who sell our yoghurt is a very great thing! I sometimes wonder if the folks supporting Nguvu (board, investors, etc.) fully realize what impact they are having. I’ve watched many NGO’s try to develop people, but I believe what we are doing is truly unique” – Eric Ranck, Masters of Science in Animal Science and Organic Dairy Farm Financial Manager
