They still find happiness living in poverty.

As I was doing my UN Volunteer Online translation for Horizons of Friendship, a Canadian organization dedicated to helping communities in Central America, I learned about the Garifunas of Honduras. 

They descend from escaped African slaves that fled south and were welcomed by the indigenous populations of the Caribbeans.

I just wanted to share because these guys are pretty damn colorful, and the organization I’m doing this translation for are helping them achieve food sovereignty to fight against the food and land policies in their country that’s making the food they produce themselves impossible to afford, as the land is being used to produce more for foreign markets. 

Horizons of Friendship is helping them achieve food sovereignty with local partners, and I think that’s pretty cool. I had never heard of them before so it’s nice to hear a little bit more about indigenous people throughout the world.

Just got back from Honduras. Volunteering at a self-sustaining college for impoverished women was beyond an incredible experience. This as the last sight we saw. Angel Falls which was a short hike from campus. Words can’t describe the beauty.
