I chose this video because the Mercy Corps group is
inspiring change in the Haitian community through strong citizenship. The
members are learning how to be good citizens in order to reconstruct after the
deforestation of the land and create a strong group mentality that encourages
sustainability. One member also talks about her future and how she wants to
share these accomplishments with her children. She wants to continue the
inspiration of taking care of the environment so that the new community members
learn how to be good citizens as well. The community is taking responsibility
because they are taking initiative to take care of the mountains which affect
farming and erosion. Working together can better inspire the group members to
continue to look for chances to improve their community and is teaching them
how to collaborate in order to build an underlying belief that the environment
should be taken care of. This small action has potentially strong repercussions
that can be integrated into the responsibility associated with each
"citizen" of the community.
