Planet Huntington Visits Mozambique Sunday Night

Past event
Dec 3, 2017, 7 PM

Hello neighbors,

Planet Huntington tours Mozambique on Sunday, December 3 at 7:00 p.m. at the library. Mozambique, one of the poorest countries in the world, is seldom visited by Americans. Independence came to this African country as late as the mid-1970s and was followed by civil war and natural disaster. Elections in the 1990s brought peace and an increase in economic prosperity (in 1994, the capital city Maputo had only 2 hotels and 3 restaurants!) Come learn about the changes underway in this beautiful, Portuguese-speaking country of abundant wildlife and coastlines, and a low population density. Carmen Tedesco will present a bit about the country and how the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is working with local partners to increase food security and better connect farmers to markets.

Hope to see you then, Rebecca & Terry Ryan
