Jackson Morapedi, Botswana
and Eunice Magagula. Swazi
land. Africa.
Morapedi amd Magagula

agents in their respective
countries in Africa and are the
only two visiting in Oregon.
They will be attending sum
mer school in Oregon prior to
returning to Africa this Aug
ust. Jackson is an extension
agent who deals with both
adults and children. In his
native land they have a 4-B
group, comparable to our 4 H
youth groups.
Botswana is located in South
Africa and has a population of
630.000 people, according to
the census in 1971.
The 4-B clubs try to encour
age youths to become better
citizens. The clubs were
rtarted in 1969 and today there
are 185 various clubs with over
550 members.
The main export is beef and
much of their beef is exported
to Japan and England. As an
extension agent he is contin
ually trying to improve on the
quality of beef. A recent test
found them using Brahma
bulls with their local cows in
an effort to improve their
beef.
Eunice said. "I never
dreamt of leaving Africa to
visit America." "I am happy
to visit America as the people
are both friendly and kind."
she continued.
Swaziland is a small coun
try, and our main export is
iron ore, sent to Japan. At
present there are no youth
programs as the 4-H in our
country. Since I have been in
Oregon I have learned many
things, and upon my return I
hope to start a youth program.
I would appreciate any slides
of this area, as I would enjoy
showing them to the young
sters of our country.
Mr. and Mrs. Fanklin Mes
senger and children of Med
ford visited his parents Mr.
and Mrs. T E. Messenger last
