Earlier this week, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) did a story on our capacity-building work in Haiti. The focus of the story is on Samy Charles, who I have written about before, and the efforts that he and others at his university (where he is studying medicine) have made in meeting the needs of people post Hurricane Matthew.
You can read the story by clicking here.
An audio interview with the two of us was played on CBC and I will post it in a future blog.
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
