The Soul Cocoa Livelihood Project (SCLP) under the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) warmly welcomes two students into their project team as part of their (students) attachment.

The duo are final-year Agriculture Bachelor students from the Solomon Islands National University (SINU).

The students are; Ms. Natasha Medei from Temotu Province and Ms. Lanieta Ofea from Malaita Province.

As part of the team they participated in a two-day cocoa training program at Aropa, Mauripata, Upper Tenaru Community, in Central Guadalcanal on Wednesday, January 22, and Thursday, January 23, 2025.

This hands-on attachment is part of the students’ academic requirements to engage with communities and observe how ADRA implements its cocoa training programs.

Both students expressed their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to ADRA for the opportunity to join the project, emphasizing how it would help deepen their understanding of cocoa production and broaden their agricultural knowledge.

Ms. Medei and Ms. Ofea are eager to participate in future training sessions with the SCLP team as they continue their journey in agriculture.
