To live in isolation unable to cope with the pressures they feel society imposes on them. A social animal say sociologists and traditionally life was lived in tribes or extended families that made things like gathering food looking after one another and surviving both easier and more likely but over time we became increasingly selfreliant now people are often left to fend for themselves in densely populated Cities Community tends to be something that takes place only online the result is a sharp rise in loneliness millions of men and women cut off from society devoid of a sense of belonging. Oh am. I am you owe me. One europe wide study revealed that around 30. A 1000000 europeans regularly feel lonely about 7 percent of the overall population. In japan too many people live in total isolation for years even decades. Tokyo a vibrant mega city home to 15000000 people but some tokyo residents find it a challenging place to live they say its too busy too noisy so they simply dont leave their homes sometimes for a few months sometimes for decades.

Earlier this year 2 people died when he could morey attacked a group of schoolchildren in color sarky days later a Government Official stabbed to death his reclusive son fearing he might harm others. Gotos says incidents like these are the stigmatized. Worsens their anxiety and exacerbates the problem quite isolated events of this kind make people afraid of he could go mari.

The parents of he could come already often suffer as much as they do they often feel a strong sense of shame publicly admitting that their child has no job and no friends would be humiliating so they keep quiet often hiding them from their neighbors for example in this way theyre complicit in maintaining their childs isolation its a problem that set to become even more acute in the coming year.

And now we had to africa rwanda is known rather poetically as the land of a 1000 hills but such topography makes farmers lives anything but easy rainfall the Company Leads to funding and erosion on a recent assignment there are reports of fires saying i trudged through a fan a shower of mud she met with people in northern rwanda who were taking measures to reduce the incidence of flooding. With the farmers of the cooperative are distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato in cornfields everything is under water the harvest is lost. The only road through the valley is also flooded. Everything that needs to be transported now has to be carried around the lake yet the valley is supposed to be protected against floods. How you personally 1st of all a project manager from the Adaptation Fund came to see us about this and found that other people came to prepare the construction work and to get an idea of the terrain and. Some. Once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating your meds in the they dug drainage ditches everywhere. Then the project was over. But not long after they left we realised the problem still wasnt solved the water just came back the sort of sod was. The Adaptation Fund is a United Nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with Climate Change rwanda has a High Percentage of fertile volcanic soil that means even the High Mountain slopes can be used to barrel farming the problem a heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley the solution is to build terraces into the slopes following the example of the incas in south america. We knew about building terraces on the soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. There was no point in using the newer fertilizer. But now whatever we use stays where its meant to be. Crops on the terraces are growing faster and we have better harvest. Now all the mountain villages here have built terraces its a time consuming process the steps in the slope need to be at least 5 metres deep once complete the ground then needs to rest for 3 months sometimes there are unexpected obstacles farmers have stumbled across on mont graves left from the genocide in 1904 which killed around a 1000000 people. We found bodies under this field of People Killed during the genocide. So we didnt get any further there used to be a house here presumably there was a massacre and they just dumped all the bodies under there we dont dig terraces in an area like that. You had. A few valleys further on is the cabbage Green Village its one of many socalled Green Villages in rwanda helping to promote sustainable development. Each village has its own school. Local families are each given a plot of land to farm. Sanitation facilities and rainwater tanks and chill clean water is available and each family is also given a cow. More than 200 flood victims from the region have found a new home in cabin. Hollow with retire his he really is one of them. Ive planted potatoes beans and corn on my land. Knowing what ive also specialized in leaf vegetables. Especially good for the children to ensure they get a balanced diet plus the chard and spinach sell for a particularly good price for. The profit he makes on selling his fruit and vegetables as allowed him to build up a flock of sheep again. He now has a few chickens to. Just one year ago things were very different. There wanted a new order to get a house and car yards or you 1st had to prove that you were a victim of the floods. We lost everything in a single night. Before that i had been a very successful businessman. But in one fell swoop all of my 63 cars were gone everything i possessed was destroyed by the rain. I thought i would lose my mind. But his neighbors gathered signatures to ensure he got a house in the Green Village today the stream that washed away his house looks quite harmless. And now the building has been put away his one stood with a new Family Living in it. And. He warned them about how dangerous it is here but in densely populated rwanda ever. 3 piece of farmland is needed and jobs are in short supply. Work outside of the farming sector in tailoring business. They make everything from festive gowns to more every day items with bags and other accessories to match. Its so much easier to make a living from sewing the work here is seasonal too but i earn well between 25 and 30000 rwandan francs a week. You can live while a lot. To. Me is. We make our way back to the farmers cooperative. Anyone capable of holding a shovel is out in the fields doing their bit everyone is hoping that if they can move enough mud out of the way the water will drain off. The women dig out the big stones. They then carry them to one of the many small water channels. But in this way theyre building down most of the design to filter the water and prevent further mudslides and finally theres relief all round as the water starts to drain away. You know theres a. Movie the sound of water flowing is really music to my ears makes me happy where you. Because it means weve got control of the floods for now at least. You. We dont know how long it will last nonuser of course youre going to get out. But its too late to save the harvest what the farmers really need is a more permanent solution that hoping and praying for a change. Weve heard and now the snack for you and this time its from england its fast food many greeks cant get enough of.

The tourists get only the best treatment at this High Altitude there served a nutritious 4 course dinner including fresh trout served with salad. The next morning the tourists settled for the next campsite while the porters stayed behind to pack everything up luggage tents and cooking gear its a tough job but it provides them an income and allows them more independence from the man. In the mountain truck to much of picchu takes 3 days during that time the porters children are being looked after back home by their grandparents as 27 year old malini explains. That in the product before we stayed home and all we could do with salvage doubles which and us hardly anything but now thanks to this opportunity were ending much more. And thats good and its also benefiting our children. The tourist struggle with a lack of oxygen up here in the mountains this old ink and path rises to an altitude of 3 and a half 1000 metres. Having grown up here dora and knowing me are used to it so they can easily overtake the visitors. And they get far ahead of them in no time at all that allows them to set up the tents in advance and have them ready before the group arrives. The temperatures up here are close to freezing but that doesnt seem to bother the porters. Leandro from argentina is happy to have managed the 1st stage. Unbelievable you give your all and reporters march right past you all the same right now let me know what its like.
