Computer Lessons

Amani, who was on an exchange with Fredskorpset to Norway last year, has lately been holding computer lessons for the Aranga Coffee Group. The farmers want to learn how to use a computer for several reasons, it will for example be easier for them to communicate with other farmers, Tanzania Coffee Research Institute and to learn more about coffee production and the coffee market. It will also be useful in the on-going project of becoming Fair Trade and Organic certified. 

We were able to buy a computer and give lessons to the Aranga Coffee Group through Amani's following-up program after his exchange. He is teaching them basic computer skills, such as how to use the Internet, send e-mails and use programs like Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point.

Amani says the farmers are doing well in class! 

FK 2014

Wild Tracks has started an exchange program with the Norwegian Peace Corps (FK – Fredskorpset) and Friends Fair Trade in Norway. Every year Wild Tracks is sending two workers to Norway to work in Friends Fair Trade’s shop in Oslo, where they also sell our coffee. Friends Fair Trade is sending two workers to Wild Tracks in Tanzania. Here they are learning more about organic and fair trade farming, coffee and the Tanzanian culture and working environment. The workers from Tanzania in Oslo are learning more about Norwegian consumers, Fair Trade and are promoting Wild Tracks’ coffee.
