Who is behind it?
The original idea of ATCK comes from the two farmer families on Krumhuk, Ralph Ahlenstorf with his wife Christiane Ree-Ahlenstorf and Ulf-Dieter Voigts with his wife Christine. The founding members of the association are Ralph Ahlenstorf, Andreas Fellner, Judith Isele, Anke Halenke, Ekkehard Kuelbs, Christa Scholz, Ulf-Dieter Voigts, Wiebke Volkmann, Victor von Alten and the Farmers Association Windhoek as juristic person. The above also form the current board apart from the Farmers Association Windhoek and Andreas Fellner who was appointed project manager.
Farmers from the area and from other parts of Namibia come to ATCK to give lectures and conduct practical training sessions. Their direct relationship to farming makes it easier for the students to connect to the subject.
Andreas Fellner, who is an experienced teacher with a farming background, teaches mathematics, German and also gives lectures on farming.
Brigitte Looser from Switzerland is trained as a teacher for housekeeping, handwork, English, sports and drawing and is in charge of the Farm Household Management training. She gives theoretical lessons as well as practical training in the kitchen and on the grounds.
Mareike Frowerk who is trained as an nutritionist also works as a teacher in the Farm Household Management training.
Ndamononghenda “Ndamona” Kahana who was trained in a renowned hotel is the trainee of Brigitte. She works, learns and teaches in Farm Household Management in order to become the manager of the training at some point in the future.
