Today in Human Geo class we had a substitute. We continued to work on the Peace Corps Challenge game but this time individually. I found this to work out better for me because there were less distractions and I could understand ad get through more of the game. I took notes every time I completed a challenge. Here are some of them:
- In most developing countries, most of the population is poor, but the poor people are least likely to be served by regular banks.
- Microfinance addresses the needs of those in the population with little money.
- Peace Corps Volunteers working on business issues focus on:
- increasing family income
- improving the environment for business
- educating young people
- helping businesses find markets for traditional products
- Slash and burn agriculture is practiced by an estimated 240 million- 500 million people on nearly half the land area in the tropics.
- Peace Corps Volunteers work with farmers to:
- Improve soil quality
- conserve water
- develop fisheries
- keep bees and produce honey
- raise organic vegetibles
- educate the community about nutrition
