Article: Teaching English to Polish Post-Secondary Vocational Institution Learners by Norman L. Butler, Renata Pirog, and William Allan Kritsonis
Setrida is a grandmother in Zambia who runs a small grocery shop to support her family after losing her husband and two children. She lives with three of her children and cares for her HIV-positive granddaughter Priscilla, ensuring she takes her medication regularly. Serida also volunteers with a home-based care program, visiting HIV/AIDS patients, praying with them, and making sure they have food and support. She finds meaning and purpose in her volunteer work, though HIV/AIDS remains a major problem in her community.
Wave power is being tested in New Zealand as an alternative energy source. Generators can harness the power of ocean waves caused by long-term wind blowing across the sea. Wave power turbines installed in Lyttelton Harbour and Evans Bay are different from other turbines as they can cope with waves from different directions. While wave power is only being tested currently, it may provide a future option for powering schools near the coast once the technology is more developed.
Today, Colombia has the highest number of displaced people in the world after Sudan.
Millions have been forced to flee their homes during decades of fighting between guerrillas, paramilitaries and the army. The conflict started when small farmers were driven off their land by large landowners, creating support for a guerrilla movement.
Through its Peace is Possible campaign, the Colombian Catholic Church is urging its government to provide victims of the conflict with the right to truth, justice and reparations they need and bring about a peaceful solution to this forgotten crisis.
Empowerment International (EI) works in Nicaragua where over 2/3 of people in rural areas live in poverty. EI enables children living in poverty to attend school by helping financially and emotionally, aiming to break the cycle of poverty that has affected their families for generations. EI was started in 1998 and works with over 270 children in Nicaragua, helping them through education to find better jobs and opportunities rather than having to work in slums from a young age.
The document discusses several perspectives on concepts like humanity, belonging, sharing, and faith. It shares quotes and views that humanity is defined through relationships with others, the importance of listening without judgment to help sort out thoughts, and that love and faith in a greater creative power can help overcome fear and hate.
Dr. William Allan Kritsonis - Expression & Associational Rights PPT.William Kritsonis
The document discusses expression and associational rights protected under the First Amendment and in the Texas Constitution. It covers the freedoms of speech, press, and assembly. It defines these rights and notes they apply to public schools through the 14th Amendment. While private schools are not bound by these, they may have similar policies. The document outlines cases like Pickering and Mt. Healthy that established tests for when a public employee's speech is protected from retaliation. It also discusses expression rights for teachers both inside and outside the classroom.
The document discusses references to images and phantoms in the Bible. It provides several passages from Genesis that describe mankind being created in God's image. It then lists other passages from the Old Testament that mention idols, images, and figured stones that were worshipped instead of God and later destroyed. The document contrasts the ephemeral nature of images and phantoms with mankind heaping up wealth without knowing who will receive it.
CAFOD campaigners across the UK encouraged people to take action on climate change through various events. Volunteers collected over 600 signature cards along a barge journey in Leeds Liverpool Canal. Students at St. Francis in Nottingham collected so many cards they could stretch across the entire church. CAFOD staff shared the climate change message in Bangladesh where people have experienced devastating effects of climate change firsthand.
The document summarizes the findings of a study on climate change attitudes in New Zealand. It found that while younger people have traditionally been more aware of climate change risks, awareness has increased comparably among both young and old in the past decade. The article profiles 74-year-old climate activist David Yockney and other older residents taking action through groups like Low Carbon Kāpiti. A psychology professor says growing understanding can be attributed to improved science communication, though gaps remain in recognizing humanity's role.

Major organizations advocating for environmental justice include NY Renews, the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance, and WE ACT for Environmental Justice. These groups work on issues like renewable energy, green jobs, public housing upgrades, and holding polluters accountable. Opposition comes from the fossil fuel industry, business groups, and some political parties. Recent progress includes New York's environmental bond act and laws addressing crypto mining and restricting polluting facilities in overburdened communities.
KAIROS’ new Advent 2012 resource, 'Seeking Shelter: An ecumenical Advent justice journey', is now available! Inspired by Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter, the resource is based on Las Posadas, a Central American and Mexican tradition in which actors playing Mary and Joseph walk through town searching for shelter, accompanied by local church members singing and carrying bright lanterns. Turned away again and again, they finally find householders who welcome them in. Today, that search for shelter is a reality for many in our world, whether the shelter people seek is fair wages, land rights, or clean water. What is our response?

In the six months since launching an East Africa Crisis appeal, over £4.7 million was raised to help over 250,000 people affected by the worst drought in living memory across Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan. Emergency relief was provided to over 13 million people, including food or nutritional support to over 200,000 and clean water access for over 180,000 through well drilling and water source improvements. Cash-for-work schemes also helped people earn money for food and community improvements. While November rains helped in most areas and aid is making a difference, critical food shortages remain in many locations.
Typhoon Washi hit Mindanao island in the southern Philippines in December 2011, causing devastating floods and landslides that killed almost 1,000 people and widespread damage to homes and farms. Relief teams hiked down impassable roads to reach remote villages along the Mandulog River that had been swept away by the floods. Villagers stood by the remains of their homes, with some having only a single sheet that survived, as crops and coconut and banana farms near the river were also partially destroyed. People's immediate needs included temporary shelter, building materials, tools, food and improved access to water as relief organizations pledged funds to support remote communities as they rebuild.
