This collective approach ensures that everyone has the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice, particularly after completing the Basic Life Skills (BLS) training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By working side by side, the members share resources of labour and guidance, making it easier for each participant to prepare their land, plant their crops, and apply the new techniques they have learned.
