Backstory
Philip and his wife, Juliet, live with their 5 school aged children. Juliet is a farmer growing Irish potatoes, wheat, beans and maize in the fertile soils of the area. During the Covid lockdown, their oldest son trained to be a brick layer and the other boys looked after the family goats and sheep. Philip is very proud of his boys. The family has a garden which provides fruits and vegetables for a healthy diet. One of Philip’s goals is to build a larger home. Schools and medical facilities are nearby but travel outside the village is challenging as the roads are poorly developed. He recognizes growth in the area due to the development of the national park. Philip would like to see his community come together and discuss conservation issues like encouraging organic farming practices.
