Hi Chris
Thanks so much for reaching out. Anita from QPT will be thrilled to connect with you as she’s very keen to get food security projects on the go.
I’ve sent an email to you and her for a virtual introduction.
All the best!

Can you share their contact details with me? Or alternatively, could you give them my email address and cell number 083 500 3090.

I am currently laying out “no-dig” and mandala systems, in conjunction with the local agricultural media, as this area is facing terrible drought conditions and it would be great to get these systems known at grassroots levels.

Perhaps we can get together and share some efforts.

Thanks in anticipation,

Chris Godfrey 083 500 3090
