I was a trainee of this program from 2004 to 2005. I want to tell you my feelings and especially thank you cordially fpr the opportunity the course gave me:
At the time, I had a good job and was a college student studying Business Administration, and I was always connected to the small farm of my parents. Going to the U.S. was a very big challenge in my life, and I even spoke almost no English. I locked up the college, I quit my job and I went to the Global Cow.
In this period, I learned a plethora of wonderful things related to dairy farms--while dealing with the longing for family, friends and especially the challenge of learning two languages: English and Spanish.
When I returned to Brazil, I had numerous job offers, because of English. But I was most interested in the work of administering a farm. Today, I completed the college of business administration. I'm 40% of law school completed and in progress. I am married, and I have a wonderful daughter. I have six years administering the farm. The farm consists of 20,000 acres planted with soybeans and corn. The production is 30,000 tons of grain annually and the production of livestock rearing, currently at 5,500 cattle.
I believe that without this opportunity, I would not have achieved all this. Thank you!

The Global Cow Program is a hands-on training program for agricultural students or professionals in dairying. It is officially sponsored by Experience International in Everson, Washington.
Thank you, really, thank you... for choosing this farm and for all your support! I'm coming to the end of my program, and I have learned a lot with my hosts. I have also greatly improved my English, which was another goal. Thank you for all your help through the whole year. Giovanny
