Oportunidades empowers women and children in Mexico
|
30.12.2009 |
GOOD |
| http://www.oportunidades.gob.mx/Wn_English/introduction.html Oportunidades is a government program that financially compensates families who keep their children in school, go to doctors visits regularly and attend seminars on cooking nutritious foods. Since this program has taken hold school attendance had skyrocketed while incidence of disease has fallen. With time, programs like this- a sort of conditional welfare- can break the cycle of poverty while improving the status of women and girls in the community. Similar programs are being started in South & Central American countries.

StoryCorps: National Social History Project Records Ordinary People Telling Their Stories to Each Other
|
25.12.2009 |
Democracy Now! |
| We hear the voices of people, citizen and non-citizen, old and young telling their stories to each other. A grandmother tells her grandson about her own childhood. A young man proposes to his girlfriend. A soldier talks about his experience in war. A father remembers a loved one who passed away….All of these are stories told by ordinary Americans. Now, thousands of them are preserved forever–in sound.
Three years ago, award-winning radio producer Dave Isay created a national social history project called StoryCorps. It now has the potential to become one of the largest documentary oral history projects ever donated to the Library of Congress. [includes rush transcript] |

Stephen Harper and the Conservatives: A year in review
|
23.12.2009 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
| It's been an interesting year for Harper and co. ever since he weaseled his way out of falling to a coalition government.
Lately, as end-of-year summations, reflections and contemplations fill the pages and airwaves of the MSM, a few op-ed pieces have mentioned Harper's disdain for democracy, tendency to trip up transparency, and appalling attempt to annihilate accountability. I am pleased that there are still a few writers who command substantial audiences willing to hold our Dear Leader to account.
In the spirit of Top 10 lists, so ubiquitous at this time of year, here are 10 things (in no particular order) we must not forget about Harper and the Conservatives in 2009.
1. Torture of Afghan Detainees
