The virus itself is not as much of a source of concern as the economic impacts and the way that it's drawing on insecurities that were already there, like food insecurities, that those have really been amplified by the changes.
Ever wondered how the pandemic is affecting people beyond your own backyard? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', Steph and Beth are joined by Charlene Garrett from Global Outreach and GOinnovation to paint a broader picture. Charlene brings her firsthand experiences from working with missionaries and NGOs in countries like Ethiopia and Jordan, offering a unique glimpse into how different parts of the world are coping.
She highlights the struggles faced by nations with limited resources, where aggressive isolation measures are often the only line of defense. But it's not all doom and gloom. Charlene discusses how innovation is becoming crucial in navigating these tough times, emphasizing that the idea of a 'pivot' can be more motivating than outright 'change'. The trio also touch on the emotional toll of the pandemic and the importance of human connection, even when we're physically apart.
If you're looking for a dose of global awareness mixed with hope and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
