"Dr. Makino va fundar fa 30 anys el Centre of Continuing and Non-Formal Education (CCNFE). El CCNFE forma part del Allahabad Agricultural University, i el seu objectiu ha sigut sempre promoure el desenvolupament sostenible a les arees rurals.
A l’actualitat, una vintena de persones treballen en diversos programmes de desenvolupament a nivell rural. Aquest se centren en la formacio de liders rurals, serveis extensius vers l’agricultura organica, formacio i organitzacio de grups a les comunitats, millora de les infraestructures, educacio per als infants i promocio del paper de la dona. Aquests es concentren en les necessitats de la poblacio rural. CCNFE anima als membres de les comunitats a ajudar-se mes els uns als altres i a aprofitar els recursos de que disposen. Els objectius del CCNFE son: mes desenvolupament integral i sostenible, mes participacio de la dona i mes educacio per tal d’assegurar un futur mes esperencador per als nens.
Una de les activitats principals del centre es el Curs Especial en Agricultura Sostenible (SCSA). Dia a dia durant els deu mesos que dura, el curs intenta transmetre la visio i els ideals de CCNFE a un grup de liders rurals. Els seus continguts se centren al l’agricultura integrada a traves de teoria practica. Aquests homes i dones enviats per ONG’s aprenen tecniques d’agricultura organica, cultiu de vegetals, silvicultura, cria a d’aus de corral i porcs, lleteres, tractament dels aliments, moviltizacio de comunitats i altres asignatures. L’objectiu es dotar-los d’eines perque puguin transmetre aquests coneixements als membres de la seva comunitat a la tornada.
CCNFE tambe ofereix cursos d’agricultura organica per a dones per tal que puguin generar ingresos de manera sostenible. Dones de zones rurals tenen l’oportunitat d’apuntarse a un curs de costura i aprendre a fer uniformes escolars i d’altres productes com ara bosetes de salts de bany, produides pels grups de joves dels pobles.
El centre tambe ha organitzat cooperatives per tal d’enfortir i millorar la situacio dels pagesos que practiquen agricultura organica. Ells mateixos dirigeixen les cooperatives, i CCNFE els ajuda en la promocio i marqueting dels seus productes.
El dret a l’educacio dels infants es esencial per al futur de la societat. Pero avui en dia a Allahabad gairebe la meitat dels nens no tenen acces a una educacio basica. A mes a mes, l’alfabetitzacio entre les noies es un 10% mes baix que entre els nois. Actualment CCNFE ja ha obert 10 escoles per a 500 nens I nenes a arees remotes on l’educacio no es massa accesible. Les escoles s’anomenen “Asha Vidyalaya”, escola d’esperanca. Educar els nens tambe aporta esperanca a les seves families.
Als pobles no hi ha gaire estructures sanitaries. La gent encara true l’aigua de pous i rius. Com a consequencia a vegades pateixen enfermetats greus com el colera, la febre tifoidea o la disenteria. Per tal de prevenir aquestes enfermetats I millorar les condicions sanitaries el CCNFE ha anat instalant bombes manuals I lavabos a centenars de pobles.

Here you have the second part:
"Dr. Makino founded this CCNFE 30 years ago. CCNFE is officially a department of Allahabad Agricultural University, and its mission has always been to promote sustainable rural development.
At present, twenty staff are working in a variety of development programmes at grass-roots level which focus on rural leaders training, extension services for organic farming, formation and organization of community-groups, improvement of village infrastructure, child-education and women empowerment.
These programs focuse on the needs of rural people. CCNFE tries to empower communities, and encourage them to help one-another and maximize their resources.
The mission of CCNFE aims: more sustainable holistic development, more participation for women, more education, providing a more hopeful future for children.
One of the main activities of the centre is the Special Course on Sustainable Agriculture. Every year this 10 month course tries to pass our vision and ideals to a group of rural leaders.
The contents of the SCSA course are focused on integrated farming through practical theory. These selected NGO men and women learn about organic farming techniques, vegetable farming, agroforestry, small-scale poultry and pig raising using fermented floors, dairy farming, food processing, community mobilization, and a number of other key subjects to equip these leaders to be trainers of their own communities.
CCNFE also offers organic famring training short-courses for rural women, with goals of to empower them, through sustainable, appropriate, income-generating activities. Women coming from rural areas have the chance to join a stitching training course and learn how to make school uniforms and other saleable cloth products, such as kilt bags used for bath salts, produced by village youth groups.
CCNFe has organized cooperatives to strengthen and improve the situation of farmers practicing sustainable, organic agriculture. The farmers manage the cooperatives, and CCNFE assists in the promotion and marketing of their foods.
The children’s right of receiving an education is essential for the future. But in today’s Allahabad district, basic education is still not accessible to nearly half of the kids. Furthermore, literacy among girls is 10% lower than among boys. Now CCNFE is running 10 schools for 500 children in remote areas where little alternative education is available. The schools are named Asha Vidyalaya, which means “school of hope”. Educating the village-children will also bring hope for the children’s families.
In rural areas there are seldom any sanitary structures set up. People are still taking water from rivers or open wells. Because of this they sometimes suffer from serious diseases like cholera, typhoid fever and dysentery. In order to prevent these diseases and improve health conditions, CCNFE has been installing hand pumps and toilets in hundreds of villages.·"
