So my friend from work and I were discussing some humanitarian issues at the studio, and she came across this website, Women for Women International. There is a very touching video called "The Other Side of War", that you can watch here:
Brings things into perspective, and the poetic prose is amazing. I feel that women in North America don't realize or understand how profoundly powerful we are when we combine our energy and our intentions to help out fellow women around the world.
And on that note...
To keep an eye on how countries around the world are doing with their UN Millenium Development Goals, check out this link:
It tracks how each country has achieved or is working to achieve the 8 MDG's. You can locate the exact country you're interested in, and then click on the specific goal you're interested in. You also have the option of looking at a world map that highlights that specific goal and its progress on a global scale.
Check it out:
Hopefully this brings you some awareness to issues you wondered about, or maybe never considered before...
