 "I would recommend this placement to another participant because it's a good place to learn about agricultural things, and the people here are friendly and help the trainee/students to learn faster. I am very happy, [my host] is very nice, he teaches us to drive a tractor and other matchines within the farms, and he pays attention to everything that we need, tomorrow afternoon he will take us to a reunion at his house."
