Very soon after arriving in the village, we were told that there were a few elders who wanted to be seen by the doctors, so we made our way to a spot that was closer to their homes and started our outdoor clinic. Right next to our clinic was this group of women pounding and grinding corn into cornmiel, which is one of the food staples here.
This little girl sits next to a grinding stone and practices her technique; learning from the women around her.

Perhaps the most powerful aspect of our collective future is our youth. The young people in this painting were part of the forestry class at Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury in 2009. From left to right they are Amber Blodgette, Patrick McCarthy, Anthony Porter, Aaron Paquette and teacher John Bradley. These students are avid outdoors people with their own innate and learned skills. They are aware that the forest is as much the spaces between the trees as it is the trees themselves.
Tom Bachand’s saw sits in the foreground of this painting. He says “I’m an avid hunter. I enjoy being in the woods. I have since I was little. That’s why I joined Forestry, because I don’t like being in a classroom a lot, so we’re outside most the time. It’s what I like doing. I’m actually joining the marines and when I come out I would actually like to join my uncle’s logging operation. He only does selective cutting.”
Patrick McCarthy: “One of the main parts is I knew they did heavy equipment operation and I’ve always wanted to do that, but I didn’t really have a way to practice that or try it so I joined this program to operate heavy equipment. It’s been good. One main part that I like the most is being outside most the day and it’s more of a real job so it gets you prepared for the work world.”
“One of the most interesting things I’ve learned is pretty much most of the aspects of sugaring. That was pretty new. First time I saw an arch I didn’t know what all this stuff was…I learned a lot with that. Just being outdoors. The fresh air. My own future I would want my own land to have my own sugarbush, so just a lot of land with lots of maple trees and maybe have a firewood business. Operating heavy equipment, just having sugaring on the side like some people do.”
Aaron Paquette: “My dad and his brother they used to go out all the time and his brother almost cut his leg off. My dad just ended up staying away from it. And I’ve always wanted to get into it but he’s never had anything available for me to start. I started going out with my uncle and I enjoyed it a lot just cutting trees for his firewood and making a little side money, so, that’s why I got into the program.”
“In this program I mean there’s just so much freedom, the teachers are awesome, they really letcha get out and do the work. You definitely get to know the chainsaw and get to know the tree. I like to use the chainsaw. It feels good in the hands. Just being out in the woods. I mean I love to hunt, I love to fish. I’m an outdoorsman.”
“I hope that a lot of forests stay around. I just want to see it all kept pretty well, but still something everyone can make money off from. Sustainable harvest.”
“I like logging and I want to use it as just a side operation. I’m trying to get into something in landscaping for a couple years which will also include using a chainsaw, and later I’d like to go to school to be a landscape architect. I just hope that it stays around and there will always be that option for the younger people.”
Stephen Volk: “…my uncle’s a logger. I’ve helped him out a bunch of times and I wanted to get to know more about it and learn the safe way of doing things. Best thing I’ve learned is how to sharpen a chainsaw the right way. I want to become a diesel mechanic for forestry equipment. I just want to get into diesel.”
“I hope it gets logged, but I hope it gets managed right. That it doesn’t get clear cut. I mean, that’s a big part of Vermont, forests and mountains. It should be more strict than what it is. You gotta think about wildlife and their habitat. I like hunting, logging, just nature. I like the sugar maple…that’d be my favorite tree.”
Currently the average age of a Vermont logger is between fifty and sixty years. If we expect to have people to work in our forest in the coming years, what do we need to do to make this a livable profession for young people who really want to do this work?
sasrai-Movement appeal Let People Act the best in 2016
Dear Madam/Sir
Greetings from sasrai-Movement that has been serving voluntarily since 2004 across the globe aimed at promoting prudent and sustainable consumption and conservation, optimum use and reducing the abuse of resources. `sasrai’ targets to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to combat Climate Change, global warming, food, fuel, water, poverty, disaster, waste, ecosystem, biodiversity - finally reverse the devastating trend of globe. It brings into line SDGs 01 to 06 and 11 to 16.
Pope’s Opinion on CONSUMPTION SLAVERY
“When people become self-centered and self-enclosed, their greed increases. The emptier a person’s heart is, the more he or she needs things to buy, own and consume. It becomes almost impossible to accept the limits imposed by reality. In this horizon, a genuine sense of the common good also disappears” (#204).
Pope’s Opinion on social media’s effects on our culture
“When media and the digital world become omnipresent, their influence can stop
people from learning how to live wisely, to think deeply and to love generously…. True wisdom, as the fruit of self-examination, dialogue and generous encounter between persons, is not acquired by a mere accumulation of data which eventually leads to overload and confusion, a sort of mental pollution.
To ensure rights, dignity, peace, justice for all we must get each baby caring to each particle of resource. “The world is heading for irreversible and potential catastrophic climate change.” "Nature does not discriminate rich/super power or a poorer, distress impact equally. Nature demand’s absolute care – We must stop `Consumption Slaving and Slavery’, "Let’s have mission to spread “sasrai-Movement” aimed at habitable earth. Planet demand voice from each corner to Combat the Climate Change and Global Warming Threat – Let People Act

03 Climate Change Critically Changing Civilization - Cordial, Prudent, Purposeful Partnering is urgent ensure desired environment & ecology, habitable earth for the youth, next generation.

5. sasrai means to Harmonic Development, Environmental Protection and achieve SDG that planet’s utmost need
06. Keep the planet habitable everyone's interest and each needed to be involved – sasrai is the strategy
We must promote `sasrai-Movement' preferably first step for the development personnel around the globe that brings significant change in mindset `how much less consuming I could be.' Pope’s “Cultural Revolution - sasrai-Movement” running since 2004. To materialize the Pope’s commandment UN, INGO, NGO Officials, Students and Factory worker needed to be orientated on “sasrai-Movement.” sasrai.com/mr-zambia-glimpse-of-hope/
To achieve SDGs earth community need sasrai Feelings and Practicing
No Matter Climate Changing or Not, Ice Melting/Rising or Not – We must Stop Our Greed, Stop the Creature Killing -- we must stop the Consumption Slaving or Slavery. We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.

Earth community plummeted into two major catastrophic sea named Climate Crisis and Terror Attack. Immediate halt of those are utmost needs for the sake of humanity, next generation. Which is the first is not the question. Fairly placing fact those two monsters are sons of Consumption Addiction. This very Consumption Addiction or Consumption Craziness breeds Climate Crisis. And the Consumption Disparity breeds manpower for Terror Attack. Earth community needs to address the root cause. In absence of this, slogan for equality, rights, dignity, peace, justice etc is completely an abortive effort. sasrai.com/cop21-have-or-have-not/
Stephen Hawking: "Let us fight for every woman and every man to have the opportunity to live healthy, secure lives, full of opportunity and love."
6th century reformer Poet Solon wrote ----
"Snowstorm and hail come from a cloud and thunder comes from lightning,
But the ruin of the city comes from unjust men they do not understand how to restrain their greed. They grow rich, persuaded by their unjust deeds, which destroys the beautiful youth of many; and from its troubles the much-loved city is swiftly worn out, friendships destroyed in unjust factions." sasrai.com/terrorist-attack-in-paris/
