Two Evanston doctors recently returned from a medical mission to Africa.

The couple also brought six duffel bags of supplies and equipment that had been donated by local businesses.
Connecting to a different part of the world, the people behind Wyoming Food for Thought recently met with two Nicaraguans who run a food sovereignty project in their country to share ideas about ending hunger and lifting people out of poverty. The Casper Star-Tribune reports they each shared what has worked in their own projects and how those from the other country might learn from it.
Speaking of learning, a new podcast is teaching kids life lessons. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports “Once Upon a Meadow” focuses on kids ages 4 - 9. It uses woodland creatures to solve social conundrums such as social justice and environmental conservation through a collection of diverse viewpoints. It was created by Laramie residents Jeff Lockwood and Willow Belden.
