CEFA officially had its first Board meeing - as you can see seven out of nine attended on November 18-19. After visiting the CEFA ag center and the model farm, CEFA Board members Baba Zokoe, Bertrand Ngama, Paul Noren (top row): Roy Danforth, Josephine Messako, Benoit Zangao, and Clarisse Nguebe all met to hear progress reports on the year's activities. Later, discussions ensued on the ministry plans for 2011 including work on CEFA's fish ponds, starting up a layer chicken program, and beginning CEFA's outreach to 5 selected villages for training in

cooperative development. CEFA, though now is established as an official NGO, is still waiting for the land papers for the 1000 acres gifted by the national and local governments.
