‘Faces’ – Have an audience with Mama Sarah Obama – grandmother of a president, spend time with a farmer whose life and livelihood depends on cassava, cowpea and maize, celebrate the children, gather for a meal, have a cup of tea.

 

‘Research’ – Tour Bioscienes for Eastern and Central Africa, IITA, Maseno University, Bondo Teachers’ Training College, and The Nigerian Institute for Science and Technology.  See symptoms of virus diseases and the results of efforts to defeat them.
