Six Months Climate Activism

It was my first time travelling so far from my country aways from my family but I was very excited to learn about organic farming so I decide to join the climate activisms six months program at RVA. I had read about the course and had lots of information about it so I was prepared. As I arrived St. Vincent and the Grenadines I knew it was going to be better than I imagined. From the moment I entered the airport I felt the love from Vincentian people who are so welcoming, friendly, and always happy.
At RVA my first impression was a little scary since it took me out of my comfort zone. Sharing room was not on my plans but I managed ok with my roommate and ended up being good friends. The installations are welcoming and even though they are not luxiorius they are quite comfortable.
When I started the course it was all new, the method of teaching and the responsibilities everyone needed to take were really new to me. There was so much to be done and the days were short compared to the amount of tasks we had.
I enjoyed the first three months at the school because our team was very diverse and we were always helping each other. The climate was warm and the beach was only 10 minutes walking. I enjoyed the fruit trees and the shade of the fruit forest all the time. At the school we learned and prepared for our second phase which was in the communities.
My time in the community was great! The first six weeks we taught at the schools and the remaining of the time we helped locals building their own organic backyard gardens. It was challenging and I won't say it was always easy but these challenges took the best out of us. Our team did good and we managed to accomplish and surpass our goals.
I would really recommend anyone to join the six months climate activism course since it really helped me and taught me good values.
