During a monitoring trip to Brazil, I saw first-hand a project which had been funded 13 years earlier that was still benefitting from the pass-on-principle.
I was involved in the very first project that sent 38 Holstein purebred heifers and 3 bulls to Mossoro, Brazil.
Isaac is very happy to have joined S.H.A.R.E. in January 2024 as a member of the Communications Committee.
