This course is similar
to course 'T' but also includes experiencing
the skills and language needed for working on a farm.
Participants can choose to do an hour of wwoofing per day
to gain 'first-hand' experience.
Both courses include time for presentations and discussions,
which happen at meal times as well as in the classroom. |
 Participants
have come from France, Germany, Austria, the Czech republic, Argentina,
Korea, China, Hong Kong and Japan. We all
speak English together - it’s great!
The morning classes at Ngahape are very small.  The
maximum class size is 4. Some students have private lessons. If
there is something particular that you want to focus on you must
tell me and I will include it in the lesson.
