Project News

Mr. Misawa was designated as the new Resident Representative of JICA Panama in March of this year, and on May 7 he visited our Alhajuela Project to learn about our activities.  He first came to our Project office where he listened to an explanation of the Project's activities.  Next, he visited the Santa Cruz and Boqueron Arriba group farms where he also participated in their respective monthly meetings.  During the visit he also saw first hand the condition of the roads leading to the object communities and the situation of land use in the Project's area.

Thank you Mr. Misawa for taking the time from your busy schedule to visit us.  Please come again soon.
