3. Form working groups to organize the fundraising, volunteer documentation efforts, and social media campaign.
Mass media management of the inter ethnic conflict in warri delta state, nige...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the role of Delta Broadcasting Service (DBS) in managing inter-ethnic conflicts in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria in 2003. The study found that DBS's role in preventing, resolving, and transforming the conflict was minimal due to limitations including lack of organizational capacity for conflict prevention/resolution and inability to objectively manage the conflict due to the influence of its owners. To strengthen conflict management capabilities, the study recommends greater media executive commitment to conflict management, policy support for proactive programming, and institutional reforms including strategic alliances to facilitate funding, capacity building, and information sharing.
The document discusses strategies for universities to improve outreach and fundraising from minority alumni and student groups. It notes that minority populations will make up an increasing share of alumni in the future.

Opportunity Nation Civic Engagement Report 2014Alyssa Meza
This document summarizes research on the relationship between civic engagement and economic opportunity. It finds that civic engagement, particularly volunteering and participation in civic/service organizations, is correlated with positive individual and community outcomes. Specifically, the research found that youth who volunteer are less likely to be disconnected from school and work. It also found civic engagement is a predictor of greater economic opportunity across states, and that areas with higher volunteerism tend to have lower income inequality. The research aims to provide evidence that civic engagement can help build skills and social networks that promote upward mobility and stronger communities.
This report provides a synopsis of the global Internet forum on International Leadership for the MDGs and Leveraging Technology for Human Rights and Peace
A new report, 'Written out of the picture', published this week by the North East Child Poverty Commission and the Regional Refugee Forum North East highlights the widespread incidence of poverty amongst refugees and asylum seekers, the ‘new underclass: the minority within a minority`(O’Neill & Hubbard). Because Asylum seekers are not allowed to work whilst their claims are being determined, most depend on Section 95 support, which is a lower rate of support than for UK citizens who are unable to work. It often works out at just over £5 a day (housing and utility bills are paid for separately).
According to researchers, this group ‘are forced to live on the ‘margins of the margins’ while waiting for their cases to be processed. Cut off from the world of work, and often denied decent housing, adequate medical provision or cultural services, many drift into a state of destitution, rely on charity hand-outs or are forced into an underground economy.‘(O’Neill & Hubbard)
Despite a growing acknowledgement that the support offered to asylum seekers in the UK effectively ‘traps’ them in poverty, the role of local services and the issue of poverty amongst individuals once granted leave to remain has received little attention from researchers or campaigners. Little central or local government attention has been paid to poverty amongst these groups, with government documents and statistics appearing to ‘miss out’ asylum seeking children

Executive Summary
The research project focuses on cultural subsystems such as religion, kinship, and recreation, as well as Mexico's prevailing perspectives regarding time, change, and material issues. It also contrasts Mexico with the United States in terms of Hofstede's findings on the four characteristics of culture: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and individualism. The investigation discovers that Catholicism is the most widely practiced religion in Mexico and that kinship relationships are extremely important to many Mexicans. While bullfights are the most popular spectator sports in the country, popular sports like soccer, baseball, and jai-alai are also popular among locals. People in Mexico believe that time is limitless, and they are open to change and material circumstances since they value achievement. According to Hofstede's four cultural dimensions, Mexico, unlike the United States, has a high power distance, a strong propensity for avoiding uncertainty, and is a collectivist society. Although both countries have high levels of masculinity, masculinity is evident in the United States at both the individual and national levels. As the U.S. manager of a Mexican business, these discrepancies have a substantial impact on my managerial activities.
Cultural Profile of Mexico
Mexico is the third-largest country in Latin America, behind Brazil and Argentina. It is located in the south of North America. Both extremes of poverty and prosperity characterize the country. Due to its industrial basis, immense natural resources, and large population, it remains one of Latin America's most powerful economic and political forces. Around 18 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty, and school dropout rates, absenteeism, and grade repeat are major issues in poor regions (Icfdn, 2019). It has seen a series of economic booms as a result of these, which have resulted in a number of significant social advantages.
Cultural Subsystems
Religion, kinship, and recreation are the three main cultural subsystems in Mexico. Marriage, family, and gender roles and statuses are some of the other subsystems.
Religion
Mexico's major religion is Catholic, and the indigenous people of Mexico gladly accept its ideas and traditions. According to research, the people of Mexico accepted Catholicism following the Spanish invasion, and Catholic beliefs still saturate everyday life in Mexico. Furthermore, the Catholic Church has played an important and significant role in Mexican history. For example, the Virgin of Guadalupe, the country's patron saint, has a shrine in Mexico City that draws thousands of pilgrims from around the world. The Catholic calendar determines the most important religious festivals in Mexico, such as Easter. As a result, priests are the most important religious practitioners, officiating at events like as weddings, births, and conducting regular religious services.

The Francisco Homes Strategic Public Relations PlanShannon Henley
The strategic public relations plan aims to increase awareness, acceptance, and support for the Francisco Homes, a nonprofit that houses formerly incarcerated men. The plan targets college students to participate in community service events with the men in order to educate students and influence their acceptance of the men as rehabilitated members of society. Research through surveys and focus groups of college students explored awareness and willingness to support the organization through volunteer events and donations. The goal is to engage the next generation in accepting the mission of Francisco Homes and helping more people reintegrate into the community.
The Peace Corps is a volunteer organization with goals of promoting world peace, friendship, and understanding. Volunteers live and work in
communities abroad for around two years after 3 months of training. The West Michigan chapter and national Peace Corps hold the same values and
missions of helping people worldwide through developing skills and cross-cultural understanding. Past events hosted by the Grand Valley Peace Corps
chapter aimed to raise awareness and attract volunteers/interns, such as career and volunteer fairs on college campuses. Photos on their Facebook page
show volunteers abroad accomplishing work in their host communities and countries.
The document discusses racism and diversity. It notes that racism today is often subtle and covert, occurring through "have a nice day racism" where victims may not realize they have been victimized. It says racism affects people of all races and ethnicities. It argues that for society to overcome racism, we must accept diversity and understand that other people and cultures have equal integrity and claim to the world. Institutional racism embedded in society's institutions also must be addressed through acknowledgement and understanding that racism still exists. Acceptance of diversity is important as no one has an obligation to change themselves but rather reach out and create bonds between all people.

This document is the annual report of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation for 2012. It provides an overview of the Foundation's grants and activities that year across its three program areas: promoting international arts engagement, protecting reproductive rights, and improving the performance of public institutions in New York.

The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) played a significant role in the racial segregation of neighborhoods and unequal access to mortgages in Kansas City and across the United States during much of the 20th century. The FHA promoted policies that encouraged racial segregation and made it difficult for Black families to purchase homes or obtain fair mortgage rates in many neighborhoods. Some key aspects of the FHA's involvement include:
- FHA underwriting manuals from the 1930s warned against making loans in neighborhoods with "inharmonious racial groups" and encouraged racial segregation. This directly contributed to the practice of redlining, where Black neighborhoods were marked as high-risk on maps.
- Loans were rarely given to Black families wanting to purchase
This document discusses poverty through a lens of belongingness. It argues that in a wealthy democracy, poverty is largely about social exclusion and lack of belonging rather than just material inequality. It says that as excluded groups increase in size, the realities of their exclusion affect not only the targeted group but society as a whole. Belonging involves having one's well-being considered and ability to participate in and influence political and social institutions. The document discusses how different groups are positioned on a gradient of belonging, and how far from the center determines the level and form of exclusion they face. It argues we must transform narratives that relegate groups outside of belonging to effectively address poverty.
The document discusses foster care's image problem and negative public perception. It states that media often portrays foster youth as delinquents and foster parents as abusing the system, feeding the public's negative views. It notes foster care is a fragmented $9 billion system serving over 500,000 youth. The document advocates for foster care agencies to adopt strategies used by private businesses to rebuild brands, such as listening to public perception, leveraging social media, developing innovative services, and providing value. It argues agencies should use technology to tell their stories, engage stakeholders, and improve processes to enhance outcomes and value. The goal is to change public perception of foster care from a broken system to one where youth grow up in loving families and all

1. This first formal update of B4U’s activities is not a typical Bulletin but a concept paper
presenting possibilities to engage U.S. citizens and Mexican friends in non-partisan
service and advocacy.
Conversations with key individuals and institutions
Our first task in this update is to recognize and thank the commitment, insights and
talents contributed by friends and members of B4U that permitted our defining who we
are and what we stand for.
Friends and experts offered collaboration in face to face and virtual conversations;
indeed they frequently contacted other institutions on our behalf, hosted meetings,
invited us to academic events or to converse with leading NGOs, think tanks, and donor
institutions both in Mexico and in the U.S.1
. We received guidance on issues of
immigration and human rights, economic and trade relations, social networks, media,
volunteer associations and funding. Special thanks to the following institutions who
shared time and talent with un on this grass roots effort2

Engaging to serve and connectVolume 1 | Issue 1
May 2017
This issue presents our
needs assessment, the
foundation of our
action plan
Attached is our
Action Plan!!
2. 2
Our first job was to identify in what ways Bridges for Understanding is uniquely poised
to collaborate. B4U friends and members are called to mobilize, innovate and support,
not compete with existing institutions.
Conclusions on how to Engage
Our meetings guided us to hone our attention to a salient action of service as we create
strategies for better citizen-to-citizen communications. There are gaps in service delivery
and in the dissemination of reliable information that include basic knowledge of
contemporary Mexico, commerce and trade on both sides of the border, as well migrants’
rights and their assimilation needs as they return to Mexico.
Due to geographic and productive particularities of trade and commerce activities, and
given the complexities of the actual commerce and trade relationship, B4U does not
envision direct action on this topic at this early stage in our development. We will
continue to provide members with factually based, relevant information on the
interwoven productive relationships, and over time we hope to support that members
“reach back” through their business and community associations, cultural, religious, or
alumni associations with information pertinent for their areas of interest. Meanwhile we
hope that engaging “voices of Mexico” around themes of commerce and trade shall
contribute positive narratives of our intertwined economic activity.
We will not sit by as a staggering number of children are caught between two countries,
lacking the most basic human right – to have an identity and therefore participate in the
services and obligations of one’s society. According to the 2015 mid-census survey
carried out by INEGI -Mexico’s National Institute for Statistics and Geography- there are
over a half million children living in Mexico born in U.S3
., almost 300,000 are known to
lack proper identification which impacts their access to basic public services from
education, to healthcare to social security identification. Some organizations (Engage
Oaxaca, the American Benevolent Society and a Rotary Club) have begun obtaining legal
documentation for children as best they know how.
Support - Communicate - Build
Support Migrants need on Identification:
Our U.S. citizens and Mexican friends disbursed throughout the country are ideally
poised to provide aid and relief on some of the logistic and administrative needs of
returned/returning migrants, and separated families. B4U will design and deliver
assistance to affected migrant children, and communicate this cause to like-minded
throughout Mexico. Members and friends will provide direct volunteer support, financial
backing, and or help in disseminating information and fostering conversations4

Experts in the U.S. have encouraged B4U members and friends to reach back to our U.S. communities of
origin and connect to U.S. communities, faith groups and cultural organizations, we hope to do so when we
are more firmly established.
Here we turn needs
into actions
3. 3
To offer efficient and quality aid B4U decided to collaborate with an experienced
professional organization engaged in providing migrant legal assistance. Successfully
procuring documentation for children requires completion of a variety of actions,
different for each case, and in keeping with procedures and regulations pursuant to the
legislation of states on both sides of the border. Well-meaning guidance on issues of
registration, absent of sufficient knowledge, has created serious legal problems for
children of migrant families.
B4U identified a very competent, credible, established organization in Mexico whose
work was most frequently cited as example by experts on both sides of the border. This
organization is IMUMI, the Institute for Women Migrants, founded by a Mexican and an
American immigration lawyer. IMUMI’s primary funding source has been the Ford and
MacArthur Foundations who laud their work, but these institutions have undergone
changes in the strategic orientation of their portfolios and no longer provide direct
funding to this important issue, creating a funding gap.5
B4U will collaborate with IMUMI on two important fronts:
1). Fundraising: B4U will raise financial support for IMUMI’s crucial work by helping
them to develop their funding strategy and the actual fundraising itself. The key is to
help IMUMI by engaging fundraising expertise to establish an income stream. Crowd
funding may be included as a complimentary action item.
2) Volunteer Documentation: After being trained, B4U members and friends extended
across Mexico can assist and guide migrants on their documentation requirements. B4U
will collaborate with IMUMI to create manuals and together we will “train the trainers”.
Then we will replicate the training and engage volunteers through contacts with the
community of U.S. citizens and friends in Mexico. The organization of volunteer action
will be supported by a liaison contracted for IMUMI so the service delivery of volunteer
action enhances – not hampers - IMUMI’s dedication to more complex legal matters.
Multiplying the numbers of children served while ensuring basic funding for IMUMI
entails convening two working groups, one group will organize around the fundraising
need, and the other will involve itself with the design of a volunteer documentation effort,
complete with a dedicated IMUMI consultant to interface with volunteer workers.
Communicate Voices of Contemporary Mexico to Enhance Dialogue
Mexico is an ethnically, geographically and economically diverse nation three times the
size of Texas; the most populous Spanish speaking country in the word, throughout its
history Mexico has played an important role receiving immigrants. In Mexico, economic
activity and infrastructure associated with emerging nation status crisscrosses hyper-
modern activity reflective of Mexico’s membership in the Organization of the
Economically Developed Economies. The stratified conditions of development that
persist among and within the Northern, Central and Southern regions create the stage
upon which this nation’s citizens play out their lives in distinct rhythms and complexity.

Information on IMUMI’s estimated 2018 buget and funding gap will be shared with funding working group.
4. 4
Mexicans and long term U.S. residents alike are used to the simultaneous developed/
underdeveloped environments and circumstances that confront the senses and agendas.
Who knows if these contradictions and challenges may have contributed to fostering a
people renowned for their formidable invention, flexibility and resilience. Sadly, this
complexity seems lost on the neighbors to the North who seem to perceive Mexico and
Mexicans through anachronistic, flat stereotypes. This was a shared perception
pronounced by experts on both sides of the border as well as friends, and members of
Bridges for Understanding. Could this fundamental lack of knowledge of the other play
a role restricting fruitful, productive conversation? Are these stereotypical pre-existing
conditions affecting the quality and content of interactions between neighboring countries
and the citizenry, who while living intertwined destinies, remain ignorant of each other?
This analysis coupled with expert recommendations directed our attention to unique
voices of contemporary Mexico that we are poised to present through social media
campaigns. Bridges for Understanding members and friends will harness story-telling,
journalism and film skills, and will take advantage of social media to present descriptions
of spaces, people and activity of Mexico breaking with or escaping paradigms.
B4U members and friends have among them a very motivated and technically savvy
people who will form a working group to take the lead on this action.
Build a digital Ecosystem. Andamiaje / Scaffolding
The actions described in this bulletin require that B4U design a digital ecosystem that
generates valuable user content comprised of informational articles, data reports,
blogging and other secondary sources that feeds across multiple platforms (blogs,
Facebook, Twitter, etc.). This will allow Bridges to keep members and friends engaged
on key issues and events, while at the same time attract new members and other
interested organizations, enabling us to form alliances -building bridges together.
Bridge’s virtual community will be supported by the physical presence of our friends and
members at events all over Mexico wherein we will continue to invite and mobilize.
