History of multinational corporations (MNCs) and how they developed, why corporations tend to influence politics, lobbying and its political and societal side effects, and how to limit corporation’s influence
It’s easier than you think to hide in plain sight. To be everywhere and nowhere. To become so ingrained in the fabric of a city, an economy, a world, that you are both integral to a place, and on its fringes.
The informal workforce often falls into this “in between”– the woman selling mangoes on the side of the road; the domestic worker sweeping the drive with a quiet focus; the young man picking through yesterday’s garbage in the pre-dawn darkness, a clank of a can the only indicator of his presence.
While the lives of informal workers may differ depending on country, culture and profession, the ambitions and desires of these individuals are universal.

SELF HELP GROUP AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
BUILDING – SAATHI PROJECT. Sukarya started the SAATHI project in January, 2008 with support of Charities Aid Foundation India (CAF) and Godfrey Phillips India Limited (GPI). The project aims to empower rural women through the formation of Self Help Groups and entrepreneurship building. Apart from efforts aimed at guiding savings and inter-loaning within the group, the members are being imparted vocational skills in locally marketable trade and practices based on their interest, aptitude and capabilities. The idea behind the effort is to help women earn and contribute towards their own and the well-being of their families and community at large. The focus of Sukarya in all its effort has been to reach out to the marginalized and underserved sections of poor women who have been left out of the development process. The activities are thus meant for those, who have had little education and access to health services or economic and political resources and thereby are the most constrained. To reach out to this un-reached section has been our biggest challenge.
This is the bi-annual report of Sukarya an NGO working in Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan on the issues of Reproductive and Child Health (postnatal and prenatal services, promotion of institutional deliveries, safe mother hood, breast feeding and spacing for pregnancies), Primary Health Care and Economic Empowerment of Women through SHGs and Income generation activities and Integrated Rural Development [Model Village covering the aspects of Health, education, vocational training, women empowerment, income generation, environment, sanitation and strengthening of village level committees and PRI system]

USE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR SELF HELP GROUP OF MAHARASHTRA,IN WARDHA AND DHULE DIST...Swati Dudhale
1) Introduction:
Self Help Group (SHG) is now a well known concept. It is now almost two decade old. It is reported that the SHGs have a role in hastening country’s economic development. SHGs have now evolved as a movement.SHG program in India gained popularity in the early 1990’s and reaches more than 16 million households today. The goal of SHG is “ to reduce the economic vulnerability of its members using pool resources and collective strength”
2) Rationale of the study
In 1991-92 National Bank For Agricultural and Rural Development ( NABARD) started promoting self-help groups on a large scale. And it was the real take-off point for the SHG Movement In 1993. The Reserve Bank of India also allowed SHG to open saving accounts in banks. Facility of availing bank services was a major boost to the movement. Now nearly 560 Banks & Organizations like NABARD, Bank of Maharashtra, State Bank of India, Cooperative Banks ,Regional Rural banks, the Government.
Every SHG should be aware of the status of its outstanding loans to members, the status of its loans from external institutions, and the member payments due at the next meeting. It is a challenge to all SHG s to produce their books of accounts to the bank accurately. Financial reports indicate the profitability and financial position of the group and can be used by banks and other commercial financial institution to judge the credit worthiness of a SHG. Most SHG members are minimally educated, and may be illiterate or semi-literate.
Due to problems in manual book keeping. Transparent and proper maintenance of records of SHGs will facilitate nurturing and strengthening of SHGs and will lead to enhanced confidence among the members as also in the banks. The need for digitization of records of SHGs has been felt. In an attempt to bring the benefits of the information technology to rural poor, NABARD launched three pilots using ICT based solutions to streamline the accounting and book keeping in SHGs.

Recentering Democracy Around Citizens Multimedia ReportMatt Leighninger
How might we redesign local democracy around the day-to-day goals and concerns of citizens? A set of leaders in civic engagement, including representatives of national associations that represent local officials, school systems, funders, and other leaders, met in early 2010 to compare notes on their work in communities and discuss possibilities for innovation. This report describes their discussion and recommendations.
Commissioned by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and written by Matt Leighninger of the Deliberative Democracy Consortium, this paper reviews that conversation and extends an invitation to both deliberative democracy and dialogue practitioners and to community organizers to continue it. In doing so, it invites civic engagement practitioners from diverse schools of thought to raise and tackle tough, important questions; to deepen their mutual understanding of other practices and approaches, and of the values underlying and unifying their work; and to propose ideas for working together more effectively, and with greater impact.

Issues of race in America can be sensitive and uncomfortable. Most people avoid or limit them. This practice has unfortunately limited our knowledge of racial issues and undermined our ability to empower youth with empathetic understanding and capacity to redesign, reshape and reconstruct society for a 21st century multicultural Inclusive America. This workshop offers a unique insight with resources and tools for participants to become comfortable with issues of race and empowered to teach others.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

It builds and sustains region-wide, collaborative institutions with inclusive representation and a common goal: improving the health of the whole and expanding opportunity for all people and communities across the region. Equitable regionalism requires comprehensive and strategic investment in people and neighborhoods.”
Lead poisoning, respiratory illness, and pesticide exposure are disturbingly common health issues stemming from the substandard housing where farm worker families often live. Along with residential instability and the geographical isolation of these dwellings, these factors adversely affect children’s ability to attend and succeed in school.
