Academic/professional merits and interests

Pursuing a Diploma in Livestock Management and Entrepreneurship at Labour College of East Africa

I am a humble, energetic, focused, compassionate, and dedicated young male who loves agriculture. I have worked with cows and goats at our family farm. This has motivated to want to learn and teach other people how to look after and care for animals.
