Jul 23, 2022 Formerly many youths left school - and thus the Live and Learn in Kenya International project after completing 8th grade. It was always sad to see intelligent students deciding to leave the project and go on to work, albeit much better jobs now that they are literate but still less than their potential. It was also sad to see the less intelligently blessed students leaving to work menial jobs to earn money to live on at the young age of 14 or 15. Every child has a talent for something and we....

Jul 23, 2022 Well ... we "thought" the classroom constructions were nearly finished! We had only planned on two more classrooms for vocational training and zap - the Kenyan government's Ministry of Education took a turn for the better... and for us, it means six more classrooms need to be built - which will be so-called "workshops" - eight in all. Thank goodness we already have two. Our beautiful school library and our recently completed IT workshop are lifesavers in that aspect as they are both.... Read more

We are continuing our aid projects in Syria and neighboring countries. A particular focus is on winter aid, as the cold.... Read more
Apr 5, 2022 Dear friend, Our journey started in the spring of 2019. It was 9.30am on a chilly Saturday morning, and Alex was rushing to get out the door to GAA. I was giving him a hand putting on his thermal top when I noticed he’d a bit of a swollen side. And I thought hang on, that’s not right. So, I decided to bring him to hospital later that day for a scan. I told myself it was just in case. A precaution. But before I left, I packed an overnight bag. I guess I just knew it in my gut –....

Mar 10, 2022 I'm going to start with one good news story because there aren't too many of those these days, and it's that older puppy Juliet was adopted from our Tai Po Homing Centre (currently our only Homing Centre). We're waiting for a family photo from her adopters to share as the official adoption photo, so in the meantime I'll use what I've got. There should be another dog leaving on Monday, but I won't mention the name until he's actually left. Things change at the last minute so we can't assume.... Read more
Mar 3, 2022 Since our last report in November, even though some restrictions continued due to the new variant, mobility of people continued to increase. This had a positive affect on the businesses of low-income women. However, Turkey also faced a substantial increase in inflation rate and a devaluation of the Turkish Lira. This resulted in the increase of costs of inputs and regular expenses of the businesses. We were able to raise funds through GlobalGiving in the past 4 months to give micro loans to 19.... Read more

Feb 12, 2022 It is amazing how people take care of their community strays like their family members.

When our team reached the locality, they were surprised to see how these four orphaned puppies beautifully grew under their local owner’s supervision. These kind people not only take care of their food & shelter, but they also take care of.... Read more
Feb 7, 2022 After war, persecution and trauma in their homeland, refugees experience kicks, beatings and humiliation at the EU’s external borders. Recent media reports document the renewed numerous illegal deportations from the EU at the Croatian-Bosnian border. “The recent reports of violent push-backs are shocking to many, but just because this time they were captured on video. Around one third of all refugees who flee to the EU via the so called Balkan route come from Afghanistan and have.... Read more
Feb 5, 2022 Another amazing milestone as a new batch of students arrive in Dubai. Very emotional for me as all these students and 1 mother I have known for 16 years or more.It's such a hard task for them to travel and I'm not just talking about financial difficulties for tickets and visas (in fact on the Dubai visa side we are very fortunate to have excellent PRO services from Mr Kamal). Some of the biggest difficulties are on the Bangladesh side, having the right paperwork and many permissions required,.... Read more

Jan 31, 2022 December- The coldest month of the year. The season of chills is a challenge for furry beings. During cold nights we snuggle into our blankets and jackets. Our furry friends on the streets have no option but to suffer through the cold.

Jan 21, 2022 The months of October, November and December 2021 saw a steep rise in the patients requiring eye surgeries. Primarily because of the backlog of patients which got accumulated due to COVID restrictions and secondarily because of the usual seasonal demand in Rajasthan during winters.

More than 3-4 camps were organized every week in the remote rural.... Read more
Jan 19, 2022 We received a call from one of the locals in Ahmedabad regarding a dog roaming around in their neighborhood with a painful wound on the side of his mouth. The dog couldn’t eat or drink because of this. In humid weather, flies can lay eggs in open animal wounds that hatch within a few hours. The larvae, or maggots, feed on the animal’s flesh, often enlarging and deepening their injury. Even a tiny, barely visible cut can become a huge, life-threatening wound in a very short span of....

For safety reasons, our QA team sent the sample of the chicken wings to the.... Read more
Dec 28, 2021 This is the month of Christmas. A merry time for us but not so merry time for our strays. This is the time when they need shelter at night desperately. We can go under our blanket and sleep peacefully when it's freezing cold outside. We enjoy the cold with our friends and family with a hot cup of coffee or tea, but the poor strays starve and shiver throughout the night. Not only that, but this is also the time when female dogs’ litter the most. Hungry mother with tiny puppies is a common.... Read more

Dec 9, 2021 The situation The Horn of Africa is experiencing the worst locust plague in over 25 years. The insects are destroying entire swaths of land, and farming families are losing their livelihoods.

Repeated displacements and ever new hotbeds of conflict have taken a heavy toll on the people's powers of resistance. Where the world public hardly looks anymore,.... Read more
Dec 5, 2021 These are families who I have been helping since 2005 and the girls have had the best education I could provide for them in Dhaka. However, they are families with very sad stories, mainly single Mums and their daughters.

All of the families were living in extreme poverty when I first started helping them. Although we.... Read more
