As an environmental engineer, my field is moving toward agroecology and the social sector. It is heading toward better management of natural resources, thereby fostering a culture in which human beings and the planet Earth come closer together. We have been able to broaden our expectations and make a stronger commitment to community development thanks to the participation and interest of the residents of Macalajau, the multi-disciplinary team on the ground and the backing of Habitat for Humanity Guatemala. In addition, the support, collaboration and assistance we have received from the technical advisor has allowed us to pass on knowledge and introduce new technologies related to family farming. We are all working under the same sun and in the same spirit of solidarity with a common understanding. We are motivated by the call for equal development across the globe. Nevertheless, I am aware that our efforts will not be enough. We cannot change the world overnight just as we cannot block out the sun with one finger. We are not superheroes who ensure justice and uphold the dignity of individuals, but at least we have supported and engaged in actions that will help direct society towards an authentic social culture, with respect for human rights such as food security.
