Certification

I studied a course abroad at The University of Geneva in Switzerland. I studied Trade between Developed and Developing Countries. My most poignant lesson I learned was about the protection of agricultural products for all countries because it is the bread basket of all countries. Feeding one's population essential in order to have a healthy population because this leads to growth and development. A starving country is susceptible to many ills; weak population, disease ridden and reduction in population growth. It opened up my outlook in recognizing we must not take lightly of people who are starving around the world. if we are able to help, we should endeavor to do so.
