Keaotshepa ‘Kea’ Ntlhane is a young third year animal science student at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria. Kea is highly passionate about livestock, from breeding techniques to nutrition, animal care is what really floats Kea's boat. Kea has been selected as the beneficiary of the Caterpillar and United Way project, which sees R30 000 to support him in an apprenticeship on a dairy farm. We are appealing to all the friends of Future Farmers to help us raise matching funding of R30 000, which will allow him a full year of apprenticeship instead of six months. No amount is too small, and every cent helps us get Kea closer to his dreams of working in agriculture.

I was always fascinated by the idea of gifting someone a bouquet of flowers and wondered how fulfilling it might be having to confidently say that bunch of flowers is a work of my hands. Horticulture had been in my heart ever since that day. I am a proud flower farm manager at Kean on Flowers and to tell you that pursuing your passion doesn't feel like a job would be an understatement!

I feel like this program came at a right time in my career and it will definitely open greater doors for me in the future. All thanks to future farmers foundation for making it possible for me as a future farmer to purse my dream.

I think I performed well for someone who had not been exposed to such a programme before. I learnt a lot about myself during the journey and very much grateful for the opportunity that I received.
