Her recovery is progressing well. Helen Rivers-Moore is slowly getting over a problem with her ankle and is on the mend. Sandy Hiebert’s brother, who has been ill for a while, has passed away.

Nancy Kruel, who has been to some meetings in the past, has been in an unfortunate automobile accident. Sadly, Nancy passed away on April 5th as a result of her injuries. Heartfelt condolences to Nancy’s husband, James, and her family and friends. PRESIDENT’S REPORT During our recent Board Meeting, we discussed and agreed to the following: Reviewed progress on 2016 goals stated in the January meeting. All are moving in the right direction. Approved review and update of Membership Directory (Rosi and Sheelagh) Approved Mobile Library Project Plan. The Board approved paying for magnetic vehicle plates out of the membership account. This is good PR for the club and a demonstration of support and pride in the project. The PZIWC plates can be used on future occasions. A great first step of publicity strategy. Page 1 of 5 Approved three months projection for Monthly Meetings. During one of the next meetings, our own Nancy Gibbons will enlighten us about bees (she used to be a beekeeper). Beginning with the May meeting, we will have a 'Book Fair' during the meetings where we can all sell and buy each other's books (in reasonably good condition) with funds going to the Mobile Library project.

TREASURER’S REPORT Michelle Touron reported that all accounts are in good order and balanced. Following is a summary of current status. Membership Account CRC 812,413.80 Projects Account CRC 77,224.00 Total CRC 889,637.80 Anticipated costs for 2016: Go Daddy annual fee and magnetic plates for Mobile Library. SECRETARY’S REPORT – N/A SERVICE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Mobile Library Project Sheelagh Richards reported that the project development plan has been updated to incorporate “phase two”, which has been approved by the service committee. The concept for “phase two” was to develop ‘starter’ libraries for isolated rural schools where children did not have access to books. Over the next two years, we would maintain the mobile service and focus continued fund-raising on providing a ‘mini starter library’ to as many schools as possible. At the end of the project, the ‘mobile library’ book stock would be divided and donated permanently to participating schools. Linda Smith has designed a small bookcase for the mini libraries and two husbands have already volunteered to make them, for which we are very grateful. We have about 150 books in stock, some cash in hand plus a $100 donation coming from Cloudbridge, which should enable us to do 2-3 mini libraries in the short term As for Fundraising, the board has agreed to: Having a “change jar” at the monthly meetings where members can donate their change when paying for their lunches. The accumulated monies will buy more books for the children Holding a “Book Fair” where members can buy and sell each other’s books. Suggested prices for paperbacks are 500 colones and 1 mil for hardcover books. Page 2 of 5 Directory of Service Providers Sheelagh has requested additional information within the next 24 hours. After this, the door will be closed, revisions will be made and the directory will be published in the near future.

For more information contact Jessica at 2742-5254 or [email protected] Be sure to go before the rainy season starts! This concluded the announcements and Cathy introduced our guest speaker, Jack Donnelly. Jack has been a life-long enthusiast of Latin American folk culture. In the 1960’s he studied cultural anthropology at the Universidad de Las Americas in Mexico City. Then volunteered with the Peace Corps in Guatemala, working with Mayan cooperatives in the Western Highlands. Now, Jack lives in Heredia, Costa Rica, where he is a contributing writer for “The Costa Rica Star”, and a Warden for the U.S. Embassy. Jack travels around the country investigating and documenting folkloric events. His book “COSTA RICA Folk Culture, Traditions, & Cuisine” gathers his findings into a culture-rich guide that offers unique insight into the traditions of this country. Today, Jack’s talk revolved around BOCAS, the small dishes of Costa Rica. Bocas are basically bar foods and you have to explore to find who has the best in your town. The king of Tico bar food is Chifrio, a layered dish served in a bowl. On the bottom is rice, followed by layers of beans and chicharron, then topped with chimichurri or pico de gallo. Jack stated that this is the only boca he is aware of that has had a patent granted to its inventor, a man by the name of Miguel Cordero in Tibas. We also learned that Gallos are not Tacos! A gallo is a soft warm corn tortilla filled with chicken, meat, or some other filling and is not rolled up. A Tico taco is a flour tortilla, filled with meat, beans cheese, chicken, etc., then rolled up and deep fried. Both of these bocas are delicious but often confused by Gringos. Then there is Yuca, also called cassava, which is an important component of Costa Rica bar foods. Yuca frita are deep fried yuca chunks.

  • Kajian Terhadap Syarat Dan Fenomena Semasa Dalam Pembangunan Program Homestay Di Malaysia
    GEOGRAFIA OnlineTM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 15 issue 1 (84-97) © February, 2019, e-ISSN 2680-2491 https://doi.org/10.17576/geo-2019-1501-07 84 Kajian terhadap syarat dan fenomena semasa dalam pembangunan program homestay di Malaysia Velan Kunjuraman Fakulti Hospitaliti, Pelancongan dan Kesejahteraan, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan Correspondence: Velan Kunjuraman (email: [email protected]) Received: 26 December 2018; Accepted: 11 February 2019; Publish: 22 February 2019 Abstrak Pada masa kini, program homestay di Malaysia telah menjadi suatu alat pembangunan komuniti luar bandar yang merupakan salah satu agenda pembangunan negara. Bagi menggalakkan dan mencapai pembangunan komuniti tersebut, komuniti seharusnya diberi peluang dan latihan yang secukupnya berkaitan bidang yang diceburi. Hal ini kerana, program homestay adalah satu mekanisme yang tepat dan berpotensi untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup komuniti yang kurang bernasib baik di kawasan luar bandar di Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, masih lagi komuniti di luar bandar menghadapi cabaran dari segi penyampaian sumber informasi berkaitan pembangunan homestay, khususnya syarat asas yang harus dipenuhi. Data primer dan sekunder telah diperolehi melalui kajian lapangan yang melibatkan dua buah homestay yang terkenal di Kundasang, Sabah. Kajian ini mendapati informasi berkaitan syarat asas pembangunan homestay harus disediakan oleh pihak agensi kerajaan agar komuniti luar bandar sedar dan berminat untuk turut terlibat. Selain itu, kajian ini mendapati fenomena semasa program homestay melalui kewujudan homestay komersial berbanding homestay tradisional yang diusahakan oleh komuniti bandar dan luar bandar. Kajian ini penting kepada pihak berkepentingan dalam industri pelancongan untuk mengenal pasti atau menambahbaik polisi sedia ada berkaitan program homestay. Kajian ini berharap bahawa para penyelidik program homestay juga boleh menggunakan data daripada kajian ini bagi menjalankan kajian tentang program homestay di Malaysia pada masa akan datang.

  • West African Food System Resilience, with Clear Challenges and Leverage Points for Enhancing Capacities to Respond to Future Shocks
    Authors: Bart de Steenhuijsen Piters, Joost Nelen, Bertus Wennink, Verina Ingram, Fabien Tondel, Froukje Kruijssen and West African food system Jenny Aker resilience Background and Preface 1 understanding COVID-19 is an extreme event that we will remember for a lifetime. But it is by no means the only shock of our time that puts global food security under pressure. Climate change, the increase in pandemics due to animal disease transfer and 2 Regional drivers biodiversity loss will further increase pressure on existing food systems. Resilient, sustainable food systems, striking a balance between social, economic and environmental impacts, must be the answer. And that requires a different 3 Regional organisations approach than ‘producing more food’; it requires thinking in systems thinking and ‘producing food in a better way’. 4 Agro-pastoralism-based Early 2020 the World Bank and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs approached Wageningen University and Research with the question: How resilient are West African food systems and how to strengthen their resilience? The 5 Grains-and-legumes-based World Bank was in the process of developing a regional programme for that purpose and expressed its interests to Wageningen University & Research to obtain evidenced-based insights that could be used during its consultations and 6 Rice-and-horticulture formulation.
