From Kroonstad to Brazil
Mosa is a pupil at Trio High School in Kroonstad, in the Free State. The AFS Intercultural Programs give young people a chance to learn across cultures. The initiative helps students build skills for creating a more peaceful world. Mosa chose to focus her research on three important global issues. These include Zero Hunger, Responsible Consumption, and Good Health and Well-Being.
Her passion for agriculture shaped her choice of research topics this year. Mosa believes backyard farming can help families improve their food security. She has gained hands-on experience working on her own family’s farm.
