Quote from HananBalkhyحنان بلخي (@HananBalkhy):

On the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, one thing is clear: global health security starts in our local communities with trust, readiness and acting early.

From the COVID-19 pandemic to the many outbreaks affecting the Eastern Mediterranean Region today, we have learned that preparedness must be local, equitable and continuous. By investing in community-centred health systems – linking human, animal and environmental health through a One Health approach and strengthening early warning and rapid response – we can stop outbreaks before they escalate, protecting lives, health systems and livelihoods.

Watch my message on why epidemic preparedness matters to us all.

Have you ever wanted to live in an eco-village? Here are plans for 7 different open source models with details under development for how to build them all.

Just signed up for a #CommunitySupportedAgriculture #CSA farm box to support local farmers and boost resilience in my community! Each week, I receive fresh organic fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and in return, the local community gets more food security. Way tastier than store bought since it's local which means it's actually ripe! If you want to eat healthier and help create more #resilientcommunities, I highly recommend giving it a try! 🍏🥦🍄 https://www.localharvest.org/

In the coming weeks, we will be focusing on: identity. Diverse identities are markers of a pluralistic democracy and show that cohesion benefits from diversity. Identity cannot be reduced to a single characteristic. It arises from the interplay of personal traits, individual and collective experiences, and social affiliations.

What do you think? Is identity immutable, or perhaps fluid after all?

We are testing a small garden model for homes to help communities grow food in small spaces. It supports food security, saves costs, and promotes #EcoFriendly and #SustainableLiving. Once proven, we’ll start training others. Let’s #GrowYourOwnFood and build #ResilientCommunities together! 🌱🌍
