Back to School (SSIR)

Stanford Social Innovation Review — Asefa Tadese was a full-time cattle tender. For seven years and without a day off, he roamed the scorched earth near the border between Eritrea and the Tigray Region in northern Ethiopia. His days followed the path of the sun's rays: a light breakfast at sunrise, hours of tough labor until sunset, a meager dinner, and then bedtime. He was just a boy. In fact, he still is one. "I'm 13 [years old]. This is my first time in school, and I will not go back to that life," he says.

Going dry: The Ganges river needs a new story

Going dry: The Ganges river needs a new story

Thomson Reuters Foundation — Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation. The Ganges River Ganga in Hindi begins over 3,000 meters above sea level on the Indian side of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains, but for many its story begins in the matted hair of Lord Shiva. How climate change is drying it up, how excessive damming is proving disastrous, how the pollution that has been reported on for decades is still occurring-these are simply not part of the ancient story.

More Mindfulness, Please: On Bringing Mindfulness into the Classroom

More Mindfulness, Please: On Bringing Mindfulness into the Classroom

Huffington Post — "When we look at low performing schools it's not that these children are unable to learn, it's that very often they are unavailable to learn." --Jean-Gabrielle Larochette, elementary school teacher Remember those Ovaltine commercials? The ones where the kids would shout "More Ovaltine, please!" and then the commercial would list the seemingly infinite benefits of the sugary chocolate milk powder? It has a few vitamins and minerals going for it, but it was primarily the hook of the hype machine that had us buying. The hype machine of the mindfulness movement is rolling stronger than ever right now, particularly as it relates to incorporating mindfulness-based practices into our schools.

Saving the Ganges River Is Saving Humanity

Saving the Ganges River Is Saving Humanity

Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting — The challenging task of stopping the infamous pollution of the Ganges River is only possible with "Jan-Bhaagidaari" (people's participation), Prime Minister Modi recently said at the fifth meeting of the National Ganga River Basin Authority. When Modi took office on May 26, 2014, he famously thanked two mothers. In Gandhinagar, the capital of the state of Gujarat in Western India, he thanked his own mother, Heeraben Modi. After receiving her blessings he traveled nearly 900 miles east to Varanasi where, along the banks of the Ganges River, referred to nationally as Ma Ganga (Ma meaning mother), he thanked India's holiest river for her strength.

Women News Network — Cameron Conaway - WNN Justice (WNN) Washington D.C., UNITED STATES, AMERICAS: With her guide dog by her side, child sex trafficking survivor Margeaux Gray presented perhaps the most powerful testimonial at the January U.S. Congressional Briefing: Combating Modern Slavery. "This is my first time speaking in front of an audience like this," she began. "Even after I escaped I was forced to live in the slavery of my own isolated horror. PTSD, eating disorders, adrenal insufficiency, blindness-all related to the traumas of physical and sexual abuse that I endured as a result of being trafficked."

Climate change and slavery: the perfect storm?

Climate change and slavery: the perfect storm?

Guardian — For years, researchers in a variety of sectors have known two key concepts about the intersection of poverty and the environment. The first is that unsustainable use of natural resources can and does cause poverty. The second is that poverty can, and does, cause environmental degradation.

Strikeforce Challengers: A mind/body workout at Xtreme Couture

ESPN — LAS VEGAS -- The glamour and ostentation, the nonstop in-your-face blinking casino lights, the billboards of half-naked women and the magnificent high-rise buildings. Las Vegas is made possible by the seemingly impossible. Wrangling the Colorado River to create Lake Mead -- the world's largest reservoir -- Las Vegas is a world of water created in an essentially waterless desert. Some call it unsustainable. Some call it man's most miraculous accomplishment. Nobody would call it modest. But at Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts, modesty abounds, as does the unexpected.
