On Sunday, Sept. 30, Harrisonburg Mennonite Church hosts an event from 6-9 p.m. On Tuesday, Oct. 2, the trio speaks at 7 p.m. in Common Grounds Coffeehouse at EMU; this event is co-hosted by EMU\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/interfaith\/\">Center for Interfaith Engagement<\/a> and will consider how faith impacts engagement on the issue of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Oct. 3, the speakers will share with the EMU community from 10:10-11 a.m. in Lehman Auditorium. They will also visit classes.<\/p>\n<p>The center is a collaborative initiative of EMU, Goshen College and Mennonite Central Committee to lead Anabaptist efforts to respond to the challenges of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>During their engagement, participants will speak about the impact of climate change on health, agriculture, human rights and women and children. They\u2019ll also reflect on how their home communities perceive the role of North Americans in climate change issues and suggest areas of engagement and action, according to a CSCS press release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are critical voices from the global south who can share the impacts they see and feel in their communities,\u201d said Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/faculty-staff\/?show=neufeldd\">Doug Graber Neufeld.<\/a> \u201cWe hope that listening to their stories and perspectives will galvanize folks into changing their attitudes about climate change and their personal practices to make a difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The speakers are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zacar\u00edas Bernab\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez<\/strong>, of San Salvador, El Salvador, is coordinator for the community development program at ANADES (Asociaci\u00f3n Nuevo Amanecer El Salvador).

She has 18 years of experience in various development contexts, including programs in climate change management, climate finance governance and disaster preparedness. Sibo and her husband live with their three daughters in Harare, where she serves as Deaconess at the Lobhengula Brethren In Christ Church.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Durga Sunchiuri<\/strong>, of Kathmandu, Nepal, has worked as a program coordinator for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Nepal since 2015, and previously as a program officer for various NGOs in Nepal.
