MD’s reflection on her visit to Mercy Corps
It was very eye opening. I’m honestly not surprised that Oregon is the third hungriest state. Our visit to JOIN prepared us for what we’d learn in some way. The action center was fun, it was filled with pictures of people they’ve helped. And our guide Kendra did an awesome job explaining what Mercy Corps did and how they helped everyone. I saw how some women weren’t allowed to go to school in Afghanistan. We were broken off into groups to be “village elders” and make choices for the schools. After about 10 minutes we went up to the front of the room and presented our choices. Maybe after women start learning everyone will be considered this thing called “equal”. Change is very possible. It’ll will just take some time. But it can happen, maybe in a few years!
