Hello Friends, working withe community is very rewarding. the most rewarding thing is bringing knowledge to those who did not have it. the empowerment aspect where you make people understand that indeed there is a problem either caused by them or by others but it is affecting them in many ways. the good part of it. the good thing is that the the members would bring forward suggestions and other ways to overcome the challenges of climate change. There is a serious challenge of people in communities not knowing that planet Earth is suffering. Even those in leadership to allow one talk about climate issues is not easy. therefore let us spread the message that mother Earth needs our attention
