RE: Possible Solutions When Food Sources Are Affected By War

Is it possible to grow your own vegetables and all that?

We can grow some for our own use and there's the cassava that's asking to be harvested. Cassava grows so easily here in our yard, so that's a plus. We're also fortunate that our parents are also growing some of their vegetables, so we receive those from time to time from them.

I heard about the economy and I think I remember hearing about floods there too?

You are well informed. Yes, the villages in the south and near the coast (lower lands) were dealing with floods, with huge parts of their crops being affected. They had no electricity, no clean water, etc. Schools and medical centers had to be closed and families had to move to higher grounds.

The water is subsiding is what I've read last, but the damsage has already been done.

It is taking a long time but I think we are slowly developing a kind of global consciousness where we will look out for each other a little more. Obviously most people are too focused on their own countries and what’s shown in the news but I can see an increased number of people aware of how a war effects more than just the people in that country and their own country.

Thanks to Hive, I get to read or see more and stay updated on the rest of the world, seeing it from the people's point of view.

Oh and yes we are well. Counting our blessings, because I realize there are people with less fortune than us.
