In this community, solidarity looks like different organizations coming together to solve a problem that will benefit all. In my case, the issue is food security. The current fishing practices are not sustainable with current environmental pressures. The local government, NGOs like Marine Conservation Philippines, and local fishermen have recognized this problem and are unifiedContinue reading “Food Security”

My Last Week of My Experience
Last week of my program! This week was much less busy. I presented a project on melanoma with a group of three other people.

Together, Forever
Solidarity means unified and Ghana has a strong tie when it comes to being together community-wise. During the day when traders are selling at the market, the workers are not defined as coming together but the buyers who support their business represent solidarity. I also witness that during annual events or partying, everybody wants toContinue reading “Together, Forever”
