THREE Grade 10 female students attending the Kundiawa Lutheran Day Secondary School in Chimbu sat their Written Expression examination yesterday – but their hearts are already set on coffee farming and downstream processing.
Stella Dule, Dian Wena and Andy Berry said they were already interested in coffee farming and had set up a coffee nursery.
They are turning green beans into ground coffee at their Lodge Fire in town, working under the Six K coffee factory.
The three girls in Grade 10D began their foray into coffee production as part of their school agriculture project.
Dule said her class project was selling K5 per coffee seedling to the community, and K7 for ground coffee in a plastic bag.
The three girls had a stall displaying their work during the opening of Chimbu’s Natural and Cultural Center at the school grounds.
Governor Noah Kool, who visited the stall, congratulated the girls on their interest, saying coffee farming was for the whole family.
