By Charlie S. Gay “Feed a hungry child - the need is great” - For decades we have heard the crying mantra coming out of drought and famine ridden African counties. However very soon the only way your world, your supermarkets, your home doesn’t cry “my need is great and where can we get our food from” is if Africa produces enough food to feed itself and then export its surplus to you. It’s a pretty simple fact to comprehend. If there are to be 10 billion on the planet the only way the world can feed itself is to produce more tonnage per hectare across Africa. BELOW IS A REPORT FROM OUR COUNCIL ..read more

@hopefarm.liberia - The future of our country is in Agriculture! Africa can feed itself as a continent. In fact the Sustainability commission says if the projected 10 billion people on our planet by 2050 are to be fed, then land has to returned back to small farmers and we have to produce more tonnage per hectare in Africa.

  BY DANIELLA HUNTER I had always been conscious of my own healing journey, dealing with severe health challenges in childhood, mainly affecting the lungs. I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but I was able to master the ability to drop into deep meditative states and eventually, instead of struggling for breath, become quiet and peaceful, which in turn led to less need for oxygen. Not being able to join in with many games and sports, particularly in the cold, English winters, gave me the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and observe, which is something that I attribute now to my ability ..read more

 Stillness — we often think that we need to allocate a specific time slot to give ourselves space for meditation, contemplation, or prayer, however, there are endless possibilities to weave quiet moments of reflection into our daily lives — resisting the temptation to pick up a phone, or device, turn on the television, or to get caught up with the bustle of our day to day tasks.
