Anti-Haitianism, this hatred of Haitians which has been in place for centuries, has accelerated recently into violence due to many white liberals and conservatives alike feeding into it. As meaningful it is to learn about how this unique form of hatred centuries manifested in the past, as meaningful it is to learn about their their revolutionary principles from the past, it is also just as important to focus on them and their revolutionary principles in the present.

Support COJEHA, a non-government organization focusing on helping the youth of Haiti through agriculture, financially helping students, fostering entrepreneurship among youth, encouraging mutual aid and much more. Keep up with this organization on facebook or on their website, various of their goals with images and photos can be seen on those platforms including the g0fundme.

In 2023, our headquarters in Port-au-Prince were overrun by gangs, displacing our workers and children. With funds depleted, we're reaching out to global citizens for help.

On their website: "Due to political unrest and violent takeover of many teritories in Haiti, our office and many resources were taken from us. The Centre d'Organisation de la Jeunesse d'Haiti (COJEHA) is currently raising funds for our children's fees, food, basic and necessary needs and most of all -  for our new campus which will allow us to be self sustainable by 2026."

Support the Youth of Haiti Now!​

To wich highschools i think the ex yugo countries went to

{If they even went to highschool}

Serbia- sportska(sport hs), serbia has the best athletes in the balkans, besides that i think serbia would get kicked out of litteraly any other highschool (exept maybe the military school). And this school is famouse for letting its students miss class tg to training and he would most likely use this tg smoke or/and drink in a park nearby

Macedonia- ugostiteljska(hospitality hs), I dont think this really needs explaining but here (besides regular subjects) you also learn how to cook, bake and catering and I think she would be perfect here since she would show off her cultural food (and get into fights stating that ajvar is her dish)

Bosnia- poljoprivredna(agricultular hs), students here participate in practical work on school farms or thruogh internships in the agriculture industry, would also have burek with the teachers for grades bc he is too lazy to work like everyone else

Slovenia- trgovačka(commercial hs)- here you learn finance, marketing and ofc entrepreneurship, I think that since he is the first yugo in the EU has a lot to do with this, but also bc of its growing entrpreneurial sector (Iwould emagine him as a different type of a entrepreneur but oh well lol)

Croatia- gimnazija(gymnasium), litteraly any kind of gymnasium, stereotiped as the nerdiest highschoolers that will end up working in a gas station bc you cant really get a job anywhere with it without going to collage (wich is verry unlikely), also lives off of instant noodles

Montenegro- zanatska škola(vocational hs), these schools last for 3 yrs instead of 4 wich I think suits him well bc it wouldnt really make a difference if he stayed 3 or 4 years bc he slept threw it eaither way, here you learn a specific job such as plumbing, construction working, carpentry, etc. I think this is perfect for him bc he was pertrayed as a bartender in the manga series "The world twinkle" lol

htbahb au dump !! because the brainrot is too strong

general context things

currently, the characters are in their college years. even though the plan is to have the main storyline happen when they already have jobs, their college years established dynamics between them. some dynamics luckily haven't changed over the years, but others may take longer to rebuild.

cleo owns an apartment close to uni, and they share it with grian & etho.

joel & scar live as interns on campus.

lizzie, jimmy, bdubs, and pearl are also interns, with lizzie & pearl as roommates in a different building and jimmy & bdubs living across joel & scar

au prolly takes place in a semi-rural area; it started as a town with a small population and lots of farmland, but it's slowly evolving to follow other highly urbanized cities.

the town hasn't gone fully urban since it takes pride in utilizing its land with locally manufactured agricultural resources and artisan goods.

courses/classes they're taking prolly

cleo - horticulture (with sculpting at the side)

joel - agribusiness management & entrepreneurship (he's not super into it yet)

scar - economics

etho - agricultural chemistry (secretly also likes music)

grian - literature (also enjoys photography)

lizzie - music (likes to experiment with different art mediums tho)

bdubs - architecture

jimmy - horticulture

pearl - economics

and other dynamics between the group !!

lizzie sometimes pulls bdubs & cleo to her experiments. every summer break, they take an art related class together. so far, they've done painting and dancing. (bdubs has already enrolled them in a modeling class for the upcoming break, but the other two don't know yet.)

joel, pearl, and scar would discuss their business and/or economics related classes to grian, and grian just smiles and nods in respect (of them and their friendship) even if he doesn't understand most things they're saying. ("wait, what is a griffin good?" "griffen, grian, with an e.")

the real reason why joel, pearl, & scar talk about their classes to grian is because they like messing with him. (he's not as good with hiding his confused look as he thinks.)

jimmy once accidentally found an opening to one of the private properties of a big business in town - a flower field. whenever he and cleo have floriculture assignments that involve getting flowers, they pick their flowers from there. sometimes, they'd discuss the flowers there, ways to care for them, flower meanings, etc. sometimes, joel and etho join them. as loud as they are, they've only had one instance where they almost got caught. (they never brought joel and etho with them since then.)

pearl & scar buy newspapers daily by the campus gate to chat about the current events, especially ones relating to their degree. they quickly befriended the newspaper vendor as he also had a lot of food for thought regarding the things going on. their discussions help them a lot, aiding them in their essays and analysis about economic policies and applications.

etho would sometimes ask lizzie about music theory. what was supposed to be a few messages would end up in hours of them talking about music. eventually, lizzie found out about etho's music hobby, and she's the only one that knows.

grian owns a polaroid camera, and he sometimes takes candid pictures of the gang. his subjects are usually cleo & etho, mostly because they're his roommates and he spends the most time with them, but there's also a handful of pictures with scar & pearl.

joel and lizzie started dating after scar, bdubs, & pearl convinced him to go to an open mic event in the dorms during their first year; lizzie happened to be one of the performers.

if you've made it this far, any thoughts on what music genres/artists each life series member listens to? totally not for oneshot purposes in this au,,,

[otstudentwithalife]

As an OT student in Cato Manor, I have always felt that the journey toward sustainable development feels a bit like trying to patch up a raining roof with duct tape. Let’s look at some Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through my opinionated, satirical lens. 

No Poverty (Mission Impossible: Newest Edition)

Poverty in South Africa is like that one relative who stays way past they are welcome, it's been around forever, and no one knows how to make it leave. With 55.5% of the population living below the poverty line (Stats SA, 2020), it's evident not only to myself hopefully that we are not just going through "a rough patch." In Cato Manor, the poverty rate currently is 63%, meaning that nearly 2/3 of the population struggles with basic needs. The challenge of decreasing poverty here feels like trying to solve a Rubik's cube while blindfolded. But, as an OT student, surely, I can tackle what entire governments have failed to achieve, right?

Of course, I can't end poverty overnight. However, through community-centered occupational therapy interventions like skills training and entrepreneurship workshops, we can empower residents to create sustainable livelihoods. For instance, the promotion of small-scale home businesses and vocational rehabilitation services can help individuals move closer to economic independence (Marmot, 2015). After all, empowering people to help themselves is the foundation for sustainable poverty reduction.

Zero Hunger (Surviving on Dreams)

Ah, hunger—the daily "diet plan" nobody asked for! Food insecurity remains a pressing concern in South Africa, with 11% of households experiencing hunger (Stats SA, 2021). Hunger in South Africa has become more than just an empty stomach; it’s a widespread societal issue. As an OT student, I was able to support local community initiatives such as helping in the local soup kitchen. The implementation of gardening initiatives by offering education on sustainable agricultural practices for the soup kitchen. These gardens wouldn’t only provide fresh, fruit and vegetables but also serve the community as therapeutic activities where the community workers can engage in physical activity, and feel a sense of accomplishment. The act of gardening itself has been shown to improve mental health and promote well-being (Altman et al., 2020). Partnering with local schools and organizations for nutrition education also lays the groundwork for long-term food security. These practical applications of occupational therapy would support both physical and mental health, addressing hunger and promoting well-being simultaneously.

Quality Education (The Children Are the Future)

Education in South Africa can feel a bit like watching your favourite series get cancelled mid-season—just when you think it's getting better, the system falls apart. Education is a fundamental human right, yet many children in South Africa face barriers to accessing quality education. While 78% of Grade 4 learners cannot read for meaning (PIRLS, 2021), the Department of Education assures us of an 80% matric pass rate, conveniently curved after lowering the standards. In Cato Manor, We have been working with Mayville Primary and Secondary Schools and local daycares to bridge the education gap. Through the implementation of literacy and numeracy programs, we aimed to give children the tools they need to succeed in their academics which they were struggling with previously. At Mbali’s Daycare, we’ve been identifying children with learning difficulties and developmental delays early on, implementing interventions to ensure that all children get access (Department of Basic Education, 2021). 

Good Health and Well-Being (Surviving South Africa’s Healthcare System)

South Africa's healthcare system is “doing fantastic”—if by fantastic, you mean “still functioning despite falling apart at the seams.” The country faces a double burden of disease: high rates of both communicable and non-communicable diseases, with mental health issues on the rise (Coovadia et al., 2009). Adding to that, 30% of South Africans are expected to experience mental illness in their lifetime (South African Depression and Anxiety Group, 2022). In Cato Manor, where residents face daily challenges, addressing mental health is crucial to achieving this SDG. Let’s face it—patients don't visit the clinic in Cato Manor, they camp there all day in the waiting for the disorganized filing room, the nurses are constantly on lunch at vitals, and the 1 OT at rehab when we aren’t around.

So we contributed firstly to health promotion by facilitating health promotion talks on physical and mental health, providing education on preventive healthcare, and providing screenings for adult mothers and their children in various settings including Philamntwana and Cato Manor Clinic. The implementation of community-based rehabilitation programs will also help individuals with chronic conditions manage their health more effectively which was previously attempted with the active aging group. By focusing on early intervention and promoting healthy living, we can improve overall well-being in the community (Marmot, 2015). 

 Reduced Inequalities (What I Call the Delusion of Equality)

I can admit , I’ve had my fair share of delusions especially before community block where I’ve been forced to look at research then relook at it in the SA context which are 2 vastly different lenses. Reducing inequalities in South Africa is as almost as straightforward as trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle during a rollercoaster ride while also trying not to vomit. Despite the progress that has been made since the end of apartheid, South Africa remains one of the most unequal societies in the world (World Bank, 2022).

As an OT student, I’ve focused on advocating for inclusive practices within the community. This involves working with local businesses to accommodate workers with disabilities, ensuring that public spaces are accessible, and providing rehabilitation services that empower individuals to live independently such as skills development workshops for the unemployed youth can be implemented at the community center with the correct resources. Breaking down barriers to opportunity requires both advocacy and community education. Through our efforts, we aim to ensure that everyone—regardless of ability or gender—has the chance to thrive.

In the face of these obstacles, all we can do is what South Africans do best—laugh, keep smiling, and get creative especially as OT students in the community. As OT students, our work in the community may feel like using duct tape to stop a leaking roof, but we know that resilience is in our DNA. The journey toward sustainable development is not a sprint but a marathon requiring collective effort. By addressing these SDGs, we can build a more equitable society where everyone can flourish.

After all the saying is: if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime. But if you teach a community to garden, they’ll feed generations.

The latest political news now in Edo State is that, Kennedy Iyere, the Accord Party’s governorship candidate for the 2024 Edo Gubernatorial election, has officially withdrawn just hours before the polls. Iyere’s decision is rooted in his desire to address Nigeria’s broader social and economic challenges, particularly the growing food crisis.   Read Also : BREAKING: Adeleke Counters Makinde, Reveals Position on PDP National Chairmanship In a statement, Iyere emphasized his commitment to tackling national issues, including his proposed ‘Food4All Initiative,’ aimed at ensuring food security and creating mass employment for youths and women through the “One-Family-One-Farmer Scheme.” This program, according to Iyere, would significantly boost the agricultural sector and help alleviate unemployment in Nigeria. His initiative, which he shared with President Bola Tinubu, is projected to create six million jobs within its first year. However, Iyere also cited internal party issues as a key reason for his withdrawal. He pointed to a conspiracy within his own party, involving his running mate, Bright Enabulele, whom he accused of undermining his candidacy. This, he said, further pushed him toward a larger national focus rather than state-level politics. Pay Attention To: Pregnant Woman Found In Port Harcourt A Day After She Was Reportedly Abducted In Edo Advantages of Iyere’s Decision: Broader National Impact: By stepping away from the governorship race, Iyere could focus on his larger goal of national development, particularly his ‘Food4All Initiative,’ which promises to have a far-reaching impact across the country. Targeted Social Solutions: His focus on youth entrepreneurship and poverty alleviation through agriculture and technology could address Nigeria’s unemployment crisis, potentially helping millions. Collaboration with the Federal Government: Iyere's alignment with the Federal Government may provide the necessary backing and resources to effectively implement his ambitious initiatives. Disadvantages of Iyere’s Withdrawal: Sudden Leadership Vacuum: His withdrawal at such a late stage leaves the Accord Party without a viable candidate, potentially weakening the party's influence in the upcoming elections. Unresolved Party Conflicts: The internal issues Iyere mentioned highlight deeper challenges within the Accord Party, which could affect its performance and credibility moving forward. Local Leadership Impact: While his national ambitions may have a broader impact, Edo State loses a candidate with significant plans for local development, particularly in addressing food security and power distribution issues within the state. Despite the challenges, Iyere has called on Edo State voters to remain peaceful and vote their conscience, stressing the importance of equity and fairness in the distribution of political power across the state’s three senatorial districts. Looking ahead, Iyere reaffirmed his dedication to national service, stating that he would focus on developing a comprehensive economic roadmap for the inclusion and empowerment of Nigerian youths. His social intervention programs, aimed at deradicalizing and engaging the youth, are set to launch in October 2024

Small Business Ideas in Bihar: Opportunities for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Bihar, a state known for its rich history and agricultural strength, is now emerging as a hub for small businesses. With growing infrastructure, supportive government policies, and increasing entrepreneurship, the state offers numerous opportunities for individuals looking to start their own ventures. If you're considering starting a business, here are some of the best small business ideas in Bihar that have the potential to succeed.

1. Organic Farming

Bihar’s agricultural roots make organic farming one of the most promising small business ideas. With a rising demand for chemical-free and pesticide-free produce, you can start an organic farm that grows vegetables, fruits, or even grains. This business requires moderate investment but can yield high returns, especially with a focus on healthy and sustainable products. Organic produce is increasingly sought after in both local and metropolitan markets, making this a profitable venture.

2. Dairy Farming

The dairy industry in Bihar is booming, and starting a dairy farming business can be a lucrative opportunity. With a growing demand for milk and dairy products, there is plenty of scope to set up a small dairy farm. The investment in cattle, feed, and infrastructure may vary, but with proper care and management, dairy farming can generate consistent revenue. Additionally, producing value-added products like cheese, yogurt, and ghee can further increase profitability.

3. Mobile Repairing Services

With the growing use of smartphones and digital devices, starting a mobile repairing service is a great small business idea in Bihar. You can set up a repair shop with minimal investment and offer services like screen replacement, software installation, and hardware repairs. Since the demand for mobile repairs is constant, this business has the potential to attract a steady stream of customers, especially in urban and semi-urban areas.

4. Retail Grocery Store

Opening a grocery store is a reliable business option, particularly in rural or semi-urban areas of Bihar. Essentials like food items, cleaning products, and personal care products are always in demand. With a modest investment, you can start a small grocery store and expand over time. To increase customer loyalty, offering a home delivery service can set you apart from the competition. As the population grows and consumption increases, a retail grocery business can be very rewarding.

5. Handicrafts Business

Bihar is known for its traditional handicrafts, such as Madhubani paintings, terracotta products, and silk weaving. Starting a handicrafts business can tap into both local and global markets. You can work directly with local artisans to produce and sell handcrafted items through an online platform or at local fairs and exhibitions. With the growing demand for eco-friendly and artisanal products, this business can be highly profitable, especially if you focus on promoting local art and culture.

6. Poultry Farming

Another agriculture-based business with high growth potential is poultry farming. Raising chickens for meat or eggs requires relatively low investment but can yield high returns. With proper management, housing, and feed, poultry farming can become a sustainable source of income. The demand for poultry products is consistently high in both urban and rural areas, making it a viable small business idea in Bihar.

7. Mushroom Farming

Mushroom farming is gaining popularity in Bihar due to its profitability and low space requirements. You can start with a small investment and produce mushrooms for local markets, restaurants, or even for export. With the right training and equipment, mushroom farming can yield a substantial income within a few months. The demand for mushrooms as a healthy food option continues to grow, making this an excellent small business opportunity.

8. Fish Farming

With Bihar's abundance of water bodies, fish farming is a highly profitable venture. By setting up a fishery and breeding popular varieties like Rohu, Katla, or Prawn, you can cater to both local and national markets. This business requires moderate investment in ponds, feed, and infrastructure, but it offers high returns. As the demand for fresh fish continues to rise, fish farming has the potential to be a sustainable and rewarding small business idea in Bihar.

9. Tailoring and Embroidery Services

Starting a tailoring and embroidery business is an ideal option for those with a creative flair and stitching skills. With a growing middle-class population, there is a constant demand for custom clothing, especially for women’s and children’s apparel. You can offer services like garment alterations, custom-made outfits, and even specialized embroidery work. With the right marketing strategy and quality service, this business can thrive in both urban and rural areas.

10. Solar Energy Installation Business

With the increasing demand for clean energy, starting a solar energy installation business in Bihar can be a great opportunity. The state is investing heavily in renewable energy, and more households and businesses are looking for solar power solutions. You can provide services such as solar panel installation, maintenance, and consultation. As energy costs rise and sustainability becomes a priority, this business has the potential for significant growth.

Exploring Opportunities for Climate Tech Venture Capitalists with Green Frontier Capital

The Rise of Climate Tech VCs. The most serious issue with climate change is not climate technology; it is human psychology. Climate change is one of the most difficult challenges to handle due to our inability to comprehend the severity of these difficulties completely, appreciate their long-term repercussions, and deal with the adjustments that must be made at all levels of society. “Many individuals believe that climate change is a distant concern. Distant in time, that this problem will not be felt for a long time, distant in space, that it is about Polar Bears or maybe some emerging countries. — Anthony Leisorowitz, Director of the Yale Program for Climate Change Communication

Climate change’s consequences must be recognized as both immediate and ongoing. It impacts ecosystems, economies, and societies all across the planet. Climate scientists have demonstrated that human actions have been at the root of all global warming over the last 200 years. The primary causes of this have been industrialization, deforestation, agricultural operations, and reliance on fossil fuels. In response, climate tech investment and entrepreneurship have increased in recent years. Several green projects are underway in several areas to develop new solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable behaviors.

Climate Tech Investments in India In 2019, India ranked seventh among countries most affected by climate change. According to the figures, the average temperature in India climbed by almost 0.7 degrees Celsius between 1901 and 2018. According to a recent collaborative research conducted by IIT-Kharagpur and IITM-Pune, India’s temperature is anticipated to rise by an average of 1.1 to 5.1 degrees Celsius by 2100 as a result of different greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, regions of the country are facing drought, lower rainfall, and more frequent extreme weather events. These changes jeopardize not just food production and water supply, but also have far-reaching consequences for both economic and ecological systems.

According to the World Bank, India would face a serious health crisis, with rising malnutrition and linked health issues such as child stunting. The poor are likely to be the most affected. Child stunting is expected to rise by 35% by 2050 when compared to a scenario without climate change.

Climate tech venture capitalists play an important part in this, and the emergence of green investments that address climate change and promote sustainability is a true silver lining. According to FSG, climate tech investments in India increased by 29% from 2019 to 2022, with a record-breaking investment topping US$5 billion in 2022. The surge in investments demonstrates not just a chance for investors to earn a solid return, but also the emergence of a melting pot of new ideas from Indian creators to handle the multitude of difficulties that lie ahead. Green Frontier Capital is India’s first climate VC fund, concentrating on sustainable finance through investments in renewable energy, clean transportation, waste management solutions, and agritech.
