Change Needed for Madagascar to Survive?
Many of us around the world are unaware of the global happenings that lead up to great change. Much could be the spread of disease, religion, war, economics, etc. Under no circumstance do I remember hearing of a fully unanimous agreement for any such situation. (Third World Country or not!) In Madagascar, it seems the same. Militants, impoverished locals, foreign governments, and advantageous companies are all going to enter into the discussion in the form that best serves them, not necessarily the country, it’s environment or it’s inhabitants. Even the question as to change or not! Some do not want to “industrialize”, “convert”, “change”, “modernize”,(or any other belief that involves them not being fine the way they are) they’ve seen what it has done to so many. Others around the planet are tired of living in squalor when there is such abundance to be had! They say take advantage now.Who’s “RIGHT” and who is “WRONG”? I say let the people decide, but that would be democratically speaking and that may not be wanted by some either!! What to do? Forget about it and help where we are asked, that’s what we say.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” -Ghandi
As we prepare to embark into this side of life, I am thankful that the hardest times of my life have been times of great change as well. I know that only the highest good can and will come from all of this and I look forward to being a part of it. Each time I have stood in a place where I thought my strength may fail, my faith may faulter, or the way may be closed~ I am once again shown that it will work out in the end! A loving hand reaches out, an opportunity shows itself, something always works out!! Now, we are going to reach our hand out to Madagascar.
It is my true intention to enter into Madagascar and assist in the preservation of it’s inhabitants (whether plant, animal, or human)! There is much to learn and many around the globe to help, so here we come! Starting in our own backyard has felt amazing, now we are ready to help abroad. Want to help us get our hands dirty and help? You can at www.hawaiidreamscometrue.com today!
Interested in finding out more about Madagascar? Here is a link to an article on the BYU Political Review that gave me a lot of insight into some of the politics, economics, living conditions, and foreign struggle that the Malagasy people face today.
Smart choices can transform the country again, as they have before. This is the only way to save Madagascar from itself, for itself, and for the world. by Addison Jenkins
