My affiliation with Red Cross
For the 1st time,
I landed here in Myanmar on 19th Dec 2021. During the COVID
era, my life was started with lots of COVID restrictions and Standard procedures.
As an official mission, I must follow all the safety measures and SOPs. My
daily life started with curiosity and adaptation to new circumstances.
Since my affiliation with Red Cross, for humanitarian service
and support to my project team. The means of transportation, we are using was as
usual as available locally. Only Red Cross workers are using the RC visibility
to build their own confidence, and protection, and inform others – those are
"Red Cross workers". Red Cross is not only an organization, this is a
perception, a way of thinking, and a positive beavering. I salute the Red
Cross's visibility and its acceptance globally.
Food “Availability
and Diversity”
As a livelihood and food
security professional, my eyes always focus on the “Availability and Diversity”
of foods. This is not a complete observation to date, I visited some of the
locations in Rakhine state and Yangon. As a witness, how I am enjoying Myanmar
with local food. I love to cook myself; I have been visiting the local street
market to collect my daily cooking needs. My eyes always focus on local
products and new ones. Local products mean indigenous i.e. not an improvised -
chicken local, eggs, vegetables, kinds of seafoods, and similar to the local
restaurants around.
While
visiting the local restaurants, first I look around at the available foods and
of course the ingredients, I like spicy foods. For me, in Myanmar the food
availability and ingredients are not so different in comparison to Nepal. The
difference is only with some cooked food, Myanmar includes sweets and salt,
which are not my taste.
