Developed by the Mainstreaming Migration into International Cooperation and Development project, this video demonstrates the importance of integrating migration into rural development programming. 

Garry is a migrant worker who is now the packhouse manager on a farm in South Africa. Working in the agriculture sector interested Garry because it was work that he already knew. Since migrating from Zimbabwe, over time, his skills and eagerness to grow professionally led to new opportunities. Garry now oversees 200 employees in the packhouse and has gained enough resources to provide for his family back home.
