| Amateur Radio Club: A Story from Region 2 | NNLM Discovery Podcast (S1/E5): When hurricanes Irma and Maria struck the Caribbean one week apart in 2017, they left hundreds of thousands of people cut off from sources of aid when all modern means of communication were destroyed. Many residents resolved to never be left in the dark again. On this episode of the NNLM Discovery podcast, Region 2 user experience and education strategist, Debra Trogdon-Livingston, tells us how amateur radio – commonly known as “ham radio” – is used to provide a vital link to emergency aid and health information in the Caribbean. She shares the story of NNLM grantee Ronda Herbert, RN, who received a grant to provide funding to host CPR and AED training for members of the Amateur Radio Club on St. Thomas in the USVI, and to purchase repeaters to enhance the amateur radio signal throughout the island. | Region 2 |
| Mindful Eating for the Beloved Community: A Story from Region 2 | NNLM Discovery Podcast (S2/E1): Imagine living in a tropical paradise, but you can’t afford fresh produce. Imagine importing 97% of your food and being cut off for weeks due to a hurricane. These are real-life food insecurity issues faced by many Americans in the Caribbean. On this episode of the NNLM Discovery podcast, we return to the U.S. Virgin Islands where Region 2 Regional Advisory Board member, Chef Alex Askew, tells us how his “Mindful Eating for the Beloved Community” program examines inequities in our food system and how to address them. Rooted in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's global vision in which all people can share in the wealth of the earth, this NNLM-funded initiative is rebuilding our food system in a way that works for everyone, especially the most vulnerable. |
