God’s plans baffle me some days. A few years ago as I was trying to figure out why God put me in a business degree I discovered the concept of Micro-business. I don’t know much about it still, but in a nutshell, it’s when people go to villages and teach women and village people how to create and sustain their family through trade and small business. Organizations such as Ten Thousand Villages support these people through selling handcrafts and fair-trade product to us and giving the profits to the craftswomen and men.
This, I believe, is how poverty can be solved. And this is what I get to research for the next 8 weeks for credit.
In 28 days, 19 hours and 58 minutes I shall embark on an adventure to Jamaica, where I will advise and consult with a small eco-resort as to how to begin their own microfarm.
Here is a link to the resort’s facebook page and website:
To say I’m excited is an understatement.
Today, I begin research. As a requirement for my class, I must become an expert in microfarming. So here I go, headfirst, into the beginning of what I believe a much larger plan that God has for me.
An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
but injustice sweeps it away. - Proverbs 13:23
