We must have a global plan on sustainable living for those in areas around the globe to not just hand out food but to teach sustainable living. We must educate our young as global citizens. The old adage “give a man a fish & you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish & you feed him for a lifetime” rings so true. What can we do as a society, as one big family to help with this process? Do you have anything in place with regards to reaching the young. They are after all our future. This pandemic has shed light on how we all must come together as one to help out. For instance in areas such as Nigeria which is so densely populated & more than half of the country ages 30 & under, this stresses the need for teaching. We must as a community reach out in ways that would provide the necessary tools that would enable the country as a whole be able to sustain its food source especially in light of this pandemic we face. Also what is the best way to help out financially? How can we streamline the process and make it easier to donate?
