Personal Narrative - The Rice Fields of Home

At home, I remember the big ginkgo tree on the hill. This is an old tree shaped like a grandmother with a crooked back and wrinkles. I like the leaves of it that golden in the fall. I called them, Eun-hang Ip. Every time the wind blows, it is yellow snow, I am covered by them. I sneeze with a yellow blanket, and the sun grasps my leg with warm hands, and the breeze blows through my hair. In my dream, I climbed a tree and reached out for the clouds - a white marshmallow.

These are some of the quotes gathered about what rice means when I interview colleagues at Kiva Field Partner Community Economic Ventures (CEVI). Rice plays an important role in Philippine culture and most other Asian countries. My father was the first person to agree that he had no meal, he was dissatisfied. Unlike Western culture, Philippine salad is often regarded as a meal, Filipinos believe that salad is just a wealthy people can buy. If you live in a big city in America, delicious salads are not cheap. For example, in San Francisco, salad prices range from $ 11 to $ 13. If you add protein and extra ingredients, the price will be as much as $ 16, and even $ 20. If you go to a small restaurant in the Philippines or "carinderia", cook rice and some meat and vegetables for only 50 pesos or 1 dollar.
