I've worked with Oxfam in West Africa, they do great work given the current system but it still carries the dependence of an NGO industry and global political economy. Still has too much of a colonial vibe to take root in communities with life beyond project budgets and deadlines.
Our team is drawing from various sources throughout history, the fundamentals come from Paulo Freire and his cultural fusion centers for Adult Education with English as a second language.

3 activities we're embarking on is adult education (Social Fusion Centers), vocational training, and agriculture. It seems like we need to connect all of these...Power to the people..., but how?
The opening speech in this clip describes the type of Freedom, Equality, and Justice we're advocating for.
