Premier Scott Moe talked agriculture during a personal trip to Kenya, where he and his wife pitched in with WE Charity.

Moe left for Kenya’s Maasai Mara region on Boxing Day and returned to Saskatchewan on Jan. 5. During that time, he met with WE founder Craig Kielburger and helped build a college dormitory.

“We were thrilled to go on a mission that is more about giving back as opposed to just taking time off, and also I’m always thrilled to spend some time with my wife,” said Moe.

The trip was his wife’s idea. Moe, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, took the opportunity to talk to students at a WE agricultural college about farming.

“It was a real opportunity for us to converse back and forth about food security, which is one of the pillars of the WE Charity,” he said.

Moe added that his wife, who works as a pharmacist, was able to engage with nursing students about health care.

“Some of our challenges were quite similar, and most notable among those was training and recruiting people to come and work, to teach and to offer medical services in the area,” he said.
