Acknowledgments
First of all, I would like thank my parents for encouraging me to reach my potential such as participating in this program. Without their help, love, and support I probably would have not met some of the friendliest people at this camp. Next I would like to thank Dr. Kobayashi for his time and effort in mentoring. I would also like to show my appreciation to Dr. Buddhi Gyawali and Dr. Teferi Tsegaye for developing the SAP program and for the enriching experience of getting closer to agriculture.
