First Place
| By Josie Marchese
Congratulations to the Volunteer Adviser (VA) team of Barbara Schejbal and Mark Smith. They are the winners of CESO’s Photo Contest 2006 and will receive a digital camera as their prize.
The response to the contest was impressive. We received a number of entries and painstakingly whittled down the short list to the final three.
VA Barbara Schejbal took the winning photo while she and VA Mark Smith were on assignment in the Philippines. CESO sent the VA team to Tuguegarao City, Cagayan Province, Philippines on a cluster assignment to advise on management and marketing. In the photo, Mark is in a preliminary consultation meeting with the clients.

The second place photo at top right was submitted by Dr. Khalil Al-Mughrabi. Taken while on assignment in China, Khalil was sent to advise the client on disease-free potato propagation and production practices.
At the bottom right is our third place photo. It shows the hands-on teaching approach used by VA Denis Rigot during his bakery products assignment in Burkina Faso.
Honorable mention goes to the following VAs for their photo submissions: Elaine Campbell, Chris De Fonseka, Dan Matsushita, Paul Matthews, Peter Muller, and Alex Vega.
