quality dairy products is an elusive goal they strive for Helping achieve that goal is the aim of Adrianna Torrico a La Paz college student who has spent the past four weeks living and working in dairies around Delta as part of a global effort to export US food making techniques to underdeveloped countries of the world Adrianna worked last week with employees at the Delta Valley Farms Cheese Company and with the help of plant supervisor Val White a Spanish speaker she was able to observe a top notch cheese making operation On other days during her stay here USU Extension Agent Allen Edwards also a Spanish speaker took the young student on tours of dairies and farms througout the country Sutherland residents Ken and Lorraine Adams and Von and Marilyn with a Tenney provided Andrianna home away from home Over 30 Bolivian students from a wide variety of fields will return this week to their native country and begin the process of showing Indians how to keep livestock healthy build and maintain facilities set up a breeding program for Brown Swiss dairy cattle start cheese factories help to improve land for better crop production and finally they hope to set up some system of selling the Indian products Andrianna said that the Indians tempt to make cheese and collect milk for sale in towns and cities but that under adverse conditions operating caused by crushing poverty results in inferior which mercenary products wholesale middlemen exploit with tle benefit derived by the Indians White’s and Edward's Through translation she tried to explain the kind of poverty which is common in her Bolivia is one of the poorest country of the poor South American countries Andrianna said Indian children rarely attend school and more often begin work as early as age six when they learn to tend meager flocks of goat and sheep among the high desert plains of Boliv ia in a country of stark Living geographical contrasts the Indians for the most part eek out a sulsistance liv ing on what they can grow and raise Utah incidentally was chosen as the student study area because of its to Bolivian climate and similarity Like Uath Bolivia varies geography from dry desert plateaus to soaring alpine mountain peaks Many of the Indians descendents of the ancient Incas make their way into the country’s metropolitan areas only to be faced with the grim spectre of ban poverty They rarely improve their lot Andrianna said The hope is that through the dairy improvement project the Indians will be able to remain in their native areas and become self sufficient tapping the markets of the inner cities with improved products The student's job back in Bolivia is not made any easier by the tumultuous political climate caused by infighting between military and civil leaders Andrianna suprised her interviewers by revealing that she had just learned her university in La Paz is temporarily closed She explained such things often occur when political leadership changes are imminent Bolivian Student Adrianna Torrico at Delta alley I arms Cheese Co |
