HHDF has initiated a Pilot Camp for the 5 step program in Chief Chinyaku Chiefdom where I have the duties to implement the program and interest the villagers in the different steps of the program and also inform people from outside on the advancement of the program.  I also have the responsibility to handle the further education in the camp being in charge of the workshops, demonstrations and trainings in the HHDF camp. I also am responsible for making the HHDF merchandise available on the market and that the economical inputs of the program are correctly managed.
