Preface

This training manual represents one component of a pilot training program in Blacksmithing/Agricultural Tools undertaken by the Farallones Institute and CHP International, Inc. It has been completed in accordance with the terms of Peace Corps Contract #282-1003.

We believe that our involvement has produced a valuable and adaptable learning tool. However, the manual must continue to be tested, evaluated, and modified in order to reflect changing needs and circumstances. It is our hope that you will contribute to that process, and that you will help make the manual more appropriate and useful during future training programs.

If you have observations or suggestions about the contents, methods, or approach included in the manual, please contact the authors at the Farallones Institute or CHP International, Inc.
