Description

This video follows three Quebec women and presents the type of work they are doing in Mali and Benin. One is a nurse, one is a nutritionist and another is an educationalist. Maryse Henri, France Boily and Marie Leclerc Ouadreago are all members of WUSC (World University Service of Canada) and they mainly concern themselves with promoting better sanitation leading to illness prevention, offering information sessions for young mothers about food and nutrition, introducing mothers to new ways to prepare more nutritious meals for their children, how to sustain a family/commercial garden and how to preserve food in preparation for seasons of food shortage.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
