The Volunteer Issue
From Burma to Senegal, Winrock Volunteers Are Making the World a Better Place

They conduct food safety trainings, develop agricultural curriculums and inspire young entrepreneurs. In honor of Arkansas’s Volunteer Month in September, we offer you this glimpse of Winrock volunteers around the world. In the words of Farmer-to-Farmer's 2016 Volunteer of the Year Neelam Canto-Lugo, “I was supposed to go and train them, to help them, but ... they have given me selfless love, service, hospitality." Enjoy this special issue of Innovations, dedicated to the Winrock volunteer.
