RAVEN Trust - Respecting #AboriginalValues and #Environmental Needs #nonprofit based in #VictoriaBC.

Join RAVEN this weekend for another round of Solastalgia: Addressing #Climate Anxiety through #CommunityBuilding and #ArtMaking. This will be our second #zinemaking #workshop. We will come together to discuss our climate anxieties (and potential actions we can take to address them) through community building and art-making. This #handsOn zine-making workshop will offer an opportunity to express some of our fears, ideas, and dreams when it comes to a more just and livable future.

Two awesome facilitators leading this workshop. Aneri Garg, #RAVENTrust Development Coordinator, and Desiree Wallace, a documentary filmmaker, digital campaigner, and organizer with #StandEarth.

Africa: When Kids Move Overseas - Why Visits Are So Rare for South Africa's Emigrant Families: [The Conversation Africa] More than one million South Africans, about 1.6% of the country's population of 63 million, currently live overseas.

If you're up in #Namgis territory/ #AlertBay - you'll want to try & get some yummy bannock eats from #DuchessBannockAndDesserts. The hours are irregular, like most small businesses on #CormorantIsland. If you luck out - you'll find the Duchess of #Bannock & she will fill your belly while engaging in lively conversations!
I found out on my 2023 trip there, that she's an Auntie/relative to some of my Indigenous friends 💗

She gifted me a book, a magic hat bunny plushie & gave us free cheese bannock bites to eat on the ferry. We bought 3 different bannock goodies from her.
