The beginning
Street children in India often spend their days searching for food rather than exploring the world with curiosity, as most children do. A group of students noticed this plight and realized that the money they spent on non-essentials could help feed and support street children.

No hope for the human race
The author wakes up feeling optimistic about the world but a letter restores their cynicism and lack of faith in humans. The letter, written by Mr. Allan Gatt, rants illogically about why those who want to abolish animal circuses are insincere.

The author sarcastically notes circus animals must love being trapped in small, smelly cages for miles and miles under the guise of tourism.

Coptic Christians get new Pope
A new Pope was selected to lead the Coptic Church in Egypt through a traditional ritual. Pope Tawadros II, formerly a bishop and pharmacist, was chosen from three names selected in an earlier vote and picked by a blindfolded boy. Copts believe this process prevents worldly influences from choosing the leader and ensures the 118th Pope follows in the footsteps of Pope Shenouda III who led for 40 years until his death. The new Pope will likely face pressure to improve relations between Coptic Christians and Egypt's majority Muslim population amid political changes and attacks on churches since the ousting of former President Mubarak.
